[Gen 8] My first shiny in a main game! I wasn't even shiny hunting. What should I name him?

[Gen 8] My first shiny in a main game! I wasn't even shiny hunting. What should I name him?

In BDSP, I was trying for a SpA nature to evolve one with fewer blue poffins. I figured the rejects could be decent trade fodder in Pokémon Home. I only cared about the Dex entry, so I wasn't keeping track of the eggs hatched. I'd estimate ≤20 eggs. I hadn't even gotten one with Bold nature lol. With the Shiny Charm and a foreign Ditto, my shiny odds were 1/512.

Somehow, Slowking returned

After 12 years! I tried out Entralinked for the first time recently. To my surprise, I already had a Slowking tucked in. I must've forgotten about it around when Pokémon Global Link stopped supporting Gen 5 in early 2014.

What's odd is that I recall being unable to claim the event Munna PGL gave away as a farewell gift to Gen 5. Idk why I couldn't claim it. I guess I never tried to use Game Sync to see if that could fix my issue. I did eventually get that PGL Munna via PKHeX tho lol, but I digress.

I'll definitely nickname the Slowking and keep it on my team as I try to complete as many possible medals in the Medal Rally.
