Here’s a example of my naming. I normally use A, B, C or D initially (A being highest appraisal D being the lowest) then if needed, I get the IVs later and mark the percentage in place of the letter and add moveset.
I don’t see the point in labelling defenders or attackers…my defence consists of the highest CP mons (like most people) and my attackers vary depending on what typing I’m up against in a gym.

My worked up dopeness is cute names followed by IV. Stock amazing are labeled by initialed moveset, then IV.
Example a stock amazing Arcanine could be FF/WC 87 (fire fang, wild charge).
It works. I run into some problems with solar beam and sludge bomb on victreebell and a few others. But does the trick.

What keyboard do you use for those symbols? I wanted to use symbols but the stock Android ones don’t work the all.

I just use an abbreviated version of their movesets type. Grass/grass for example
I also favorite any Pokemon with IVs above 80%
I write 100 for ant 100% IV pokemon as well

I normally just use an IV percentage as I know the Pokemon names anyway for example 98% or 100% as I don’t like making them super long as it confuses me.

I have a spreadsheet with all Pokemon final evolutions and their various moves ranked from best to worse offensively and defensively with check boxes so I keep track of the best offensive and defensive ones I have.
My naming scheme involves tacking on ™ at the end to indicate the best moveset offensively followed by superscripts for the second best (™²) and third best (™³), that’s as far as I go.
For defensive moveset I use ™D for the best and so forth.
For movesets that benefit from STAB I add on “SB” at the end.
For movesets that are no longer available I tack on “LG” to indicate a legacy moveset (keeping these for when trading comes out).
I don’t put the IV’s in because I only keep Pokemon with above 85% which I favorite to differentiate. The only exception is 100% IV ones where I add 100 at the end of the name.
I do follow someone else’s scheme whereby the ones that are bad IV or bad moveset I use a different name so I can access them easily for gym battles and discard after.
I will start renaming the ones I put in gyms so I remember where I placed them.

I usually translate some words which are attributes of the Pokemon or describe it to Latin, French, Hindi and hope for a translation that could pass off as a name.
I used to put symbols to represent “IV brackets” of 10% starting from 70%, (eg - 80% to 89%would be one bracket represented by a symbol, 90%+ would be one symbol) but most of these disappeared when I changed my phone recently, so I’ll have to look up some other symbols soon.
Additionally I’ve named Lapras “Sirena” and Primape “Yoddha” (meaning fighter), Nidoqueen “Vasílissa” (named since I got her at level 4, my first ‘big’ catch), Vaporeon “Flumine” and so on…

I keep most of the original name but put the IV percentage and an O for better offensive movement (top 2) or D for better defensive move set (also top 2). If the move set it trash (third or below) it gets a X. Simple yet effective. Then when I first catch the Pokémon I use faces for simply amazing, strong or decent appraisals (team valor here) then I know by the face if I’m IV checking it or saving it for a double candy event or something.

A * for strong and % for above 80% followed by movesets, nothing just strong ability atk or def followed by the movesets for the cannon fodder. Not bothered about male-female as of now. IV in last part, but only for rare ones like Snorlax and Lapras.

It’s not really a keyboard, it’s kinda an app. It’s called UnicodePad. It has every symbol pretty much, you just need to choose decide what symbol is for what.

This is only doable on Android, correct? Won’t let me use emojis on IOS, which is a bummer because it would help a lot haha

I use the 1st letter of their name & the same for move sets. I also put a star in front so they appear first when sorted by name, a dot for prestigers so they appear after the ones the *'s.
E.g Dragonite with dragon breath & dragon claw = *D DB DC

I go for something very simple. I mainly focus on knowing the exact moveset the pokemon has.
The IV of the Pokemon and a abbrev. of their moveset. That way I know which Gyarados is good against dragonites. Also helps with Exeggutor as well (Which one has ZenH or Confusion, for attacks against faster and slower defenders, respectively)
The IV of the
