I fucking despise this thing because not only is its English name a mouthful, it's also uncreative as fuck.
They should've just kept the Japanese name. "Strinder" sounds cool, makes sense in English, it's simple, and it's more interesting etymology-wise than "hurr durr it's toxic and electric"
I also read it as Toxitricity (with an extra "i") for the longest time, which is still terrible but flows at least a tiny bit better. The fact that the extra "i" was never there makes it even worse
It's a shame too because it's one of the only cool gen 8 Pokémon designs, I just hate every single thing about its name. "Toxtricity" sounds like something I would come up with while making shitty fakemon in MS Paint as a child
Actually the worst English Pokémon name in the franchise, which says a lot when shit like Lechonk, Gurrdurr and Seel exist
