Pokemon Names You Pronounced Wrong

As we were younger, we had all probably pronounced some pokemon's names wrong. So you can say which ones here.

Really, I always said Regi-gi-gas instead of regi-gig-us. Also, when Arceus official prnouncing Ar-key-us was released, I always said it that way instead of Ar-see-us

I use to pronounced Chandelure Chan-de-lere. But once I saw the anime with the subway bosses, it said Chan-de-lure.
I felt dumb ._.

I pronounced Roselia 'row-zee-lee-a' and Lucario 'loo-care-ee-o'. I have since corrected myself.

I stick by my apparently incorrect pronunciations of Nume-el and Guy-ble though.
 
Raikou, Suicune, Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Xatu...

At least once for all the above mentioned Pokémon.
 

Calamity™

aka Lamia
Milotic is one I always pronounced wrong and will continue to do so. I say Mi-lo-tic, but in the animé, they pronounce it as My-low-tic. It just sounds so wrong in the animé!

The main one would be Skarmory. When I was 9 or so, I misread it as Skamorocky (stupid, I know, but I had never seen one before, and I was 9), and when I caught one, I accidentally hit the yes when it asked if I wanted to nickname it, and put in Skamorocky, and ended up with that for a while. I think I realized my mistake after a week though.

I used to pronounce audino as "au-dee-no" but its really "au-di-no".
I pronounced hydeigon as "hi-druh-gon" but its really "hi-drI-gn".
I pronounced gyarados as "ji-ruh-dos" but its really "geer-a-dos".
 

Dragonitor

<- Shiny Hunter
Arceus, uhm.....well I think that's actually all. I started playing Pokemon at a later age so then you pronounce them better automatically. (I think)
 

Akwakwak

I'm hungry
Arceus
Raikou (don't even know how to spell it)
Misdreavus
I think that's all.
