Counter Contatore Likely mistaken as someone who counts rather than the verb to counter Generation VI Contrattacco

Focus Energy Energy Conc It's likely Energy was mistaken as a noun Generation III Focalenergia

Body Slam Body Slam Probably mistook as a proper noun of a technique Generation III Corposcontro

Take Down Riduttore To take down could be interpreted in a handful of ways, like to reduce Still in use ---

Zap Cannon Falcecannone Generation IX Elettrocannone

Double Edge Sdoppiatore Double was probably contextualised as the verb to double Still in use ---
