So, I'm pretty sure we all agree that the names given to the attacks for the Partner Pokémon in the Let's Go games are, not to put too fine a point on it, ridiculously cheesy. This is just a little brainstorming thread to come up with names for them that are more in line with the names used by the rest of the series.

Here were a couple I came up with:

Floaty Fall-- Skydive
Sparky Swirl-- Pixie Dust
Sizzly Slide-- Burn Rush
Baddy Bad-- Shield Strike
 
If you want to stay close to the source name, it's pretty easy tbf.

Floating Fall, Sparkling Swirl and Sizzling Slide. You'd just be left with Baddy Bad. Guess you could use the Japanese name as inspiration and go with Bad Zone.
 
For Pikachu
  • Pika Papow->Pika current
  • Zippy Zap -> Thunder impact
  • Floaty Fall->Hellium crash, Soaring crash
  • Splishy Splash -> Wave Ride
For Eevee
  • Veevee volley -> Vee Smack
  • Sizzly Slide -> Flare Uppercut
  • Buzzy Buzz-> Jolt Buzz
    Bouncy Bubble -> Vapor Bubble (the original isn't really bad to be honest)
  • Glitzy Glow-> ESP Glow/Sun Glitter
  • Baddy Bad-> Umbral Ray/Umbral Moonlight
  • Sappy Seed-> Power Trunk
  • Freezy Frost-> Glacial Freezing
  • Sparkly Swirly-> Sylph Swirl
