It’s hard not to be a part of the Pokémon culture craze. We are passionate about the creatures and characters we meet throughout the series, and we may even begin to notice that our pets seem to resemble or have similar characteristics to some of these Pokémon.

Dog Type Pokémon Names

Some of the Pokémon out there will bear a closer resemblance to dogs than others because dogs are man’s best friend in their universe too! Wouldn’t it be great if your little furry friend had one of the superpowers of a dog-type Pokémon? Depends on the superpower, of course, because if it was like Electrike, you could get yourself an electric shock every time you played. Imagine for a second, though, if your pup was like Frufrou and could harden her fur to protect you if you ever needed it. It would be pretty special, but even without Pokémon powers, your dog will have powers of its own: being your best friend! So, why not give them a perfect dog-type Pokémon name to unleash their inner power? Scroll down to see our favorite names!
