Nitrodier
A combination of "Nitrogen" and "Bombardier"
Pronounced: NI-truhdeer
IPA: naitrədir
Combining Nitrogen, which is considered to be a very dangerous and noxious gas in a vacuum, and Bombardier from the bombardier beetle used as the basis for CAP28's design. Additionally, the term Nitro seems fitting given CAP28's awesome offenses.

Xenoza
Xenon (an inert gas) + xeno- (prefix meaning alien or foreign) + ozaenini (one of the taxonomic tribes of bombardier beetles)
Pronounced: zee-NO-zah
Xenoza
Xenon (an inert gas) + xeno- (prefix meaning alien or foreign) + ozaenini (one of the taxonomic tribes of bombardier beetles)
Pronounced: zee-NO-zah
- This one has a couple layers to it
- Xenon is an inert noble gas, alluding to Neutralizing Gas.
- “Xeno” is also a prefix for foreign or alien, alluding to the more otherworldly elements of the design, like the dragon-tail and gas spilling from the tail-jaw.
- “Oza” is short for ozaenini, one of the taxonomic tribes to which bombardier beetles belong.

I mean given that Talonflame exists, I wouldn't count "Beetlebomb" out just yet. I actually think the hokiness of it is kind of charming!

Smaug is a famous dragon in literature (covering our Dragon typing), maw is for the tail and it sounds similar to smog (covering the NGas)

Bombaustic
Bombadier/Bombastic + Caustic
Pronounced: bom-boss-tik
Caustic burns are chemical burns. The bomb in the name is mostly affiliated with Bombadier, and its more of a fun nod to the word Bombastic, rather than that being an adjective to describe the design. However, a bombastic person is one who is considered to be “big-headed” or “gaseous,” so there’s a stretched connection

Virudra
"Virulent" + "Dragon"
Pronounced: Vee-ru-dra
The greenish, toxic looking aspect of the design made me think of a name that focused on the Pokemon's virulent nature while incorporating a certain dragon theme to it.
WIP
Pestilmaw
"Pest/Pestilence" + "Maw"
Pronounced: Pes-til-maw
The name accentuates the greenish, bug elements of the design and combines it with its most notable feature: the huge maw-like tail.

Dracolob
Dragon + Coleoptera (scientific name for Beetles) + Lob (throw)
Pronounced: drah-koh-lob
I think this name has a good rhythm to it and fits a few different words and sounds together to get across its character.

Bombadrake
Bombardier + drake
Pronounced: BOM-buh-drake
Gen 8 Pokemon oftentimes have simple portmanteau names (Centiskorch, Corviknight, Sinistea, etc). As such, I think a simple name is best.

WIP
Brachinox
pronounced brack-i-nox or brack-ee-nox (still deciding on that)
Brachinus + noxious
Brachinus is the scientific name for the bombardier beetle. I chose noxious because the bombardier sprays noxious chemicals.

Carabidae + noxious
Carabidae is the family the bombardier beetle belongs to.
WIP
Draconox
Pronounced drake-oh-nox or drack-oh-nox (still deciding)

Draco is the latin word for dragon.
