When seeing Galarian Stunfisk I liked it's new design and the dangerous look to it. I'm currently playing White, caught a Stunfisk and that's when it hit me: Stunfisk is Ground/Electric and has many Electric-type moves but why is Galarian Stunfisk named "Stunfisk"?
Galarian Stunfisk's Pokedex entries do not mention any use of electricity as a way of catching prey or behaving and the only move of that type that it learns - through TM - is Thunder Wave so why still calling it "Stunfisk"? It seems lazy to not create a new name for it when the elements (moves, behaviour, appearence) that provide its original name are no longer there. I think that this new Pkmn should just have a new name like "Trapfisk".
What do you think about it?
