What are all the Pokémon that have multiple confirmed pronunciations?

Like Pidgeot is confirmed to be both Pid-jit and pid-gey-ot

It’s tricky to find multiple official sources with pronunciations, since the anime is one of the only sources with voice acting. However, there are many Pokémon guide books that list pronunciations. I happen to own two copies of the Pokémon Deluxe Essential Handbook, which has a pronunciation for every Pokémon prior to Gen VII. Using my handbook and the Internet, here are all the ones I’ve found so far:

Pidgeot:PID-jē-ätin the anime,PID-jitin Pokédex 3D ProRattata:RA-ta-tain the anime,ruh-TA-tuhin Pokédex 3D Pro and the PDEHPonyta:PŌ-nē-täin the anime,po-NĒ-tuhin P3DP and the PDEHGardevoir:GÄR-de-vwôrin the anime, P3DP, and Smash Bros., “GAR-dee-vwar” in the PDEHRegice:re-jē-AISin the anime, “rej-ICE” in the PDEHKyogre:kē-Ō-grēin the anime,kī-Ō-gərin P3DP (and I think some commercials I saw as a child?)Groudon:GRŪ-dənin the anime,GROU-dänin P3DP (I also remember this from a commercial)Deoxys:dē-ŌK-sisin the anime,dē-ÄK-sisin P3DPArceus:ÄR-sē-əsin the anime,ÄR-kē-əslater in the anime (they changed it when they realized the original sounded like a British curse word)Mienfoo:mē-yen-FŪin the anime,MĒN-fūin P3DP, “MEEN-FOO” in the PDEHMienshao:mē-yen-SHOUin the anime,mēn-SHOUin P3DP, “MEEN-SHOW” in the PDEH

And a bonus…Kanto:KAN-tōin the anime,KÄN-tōin Pokémon Masters (according to Misty, who calls itKAN-tōin the anime!)

This definitely isn’t all of them, so I’ll add more later.

As far as I know (and my research shows), there are no Pokemon that actually have multiple pronunciations…simultaneously,that is.

To your end, though, therehavebeen some Pokemon that havechangedtheir pronunciations over the years. Although not exactly your question, here is the list:

Arceus, from ar-see-uhs to ark-ee-uhs…

…and that’s all. There have been handbooks and various unofficial sources that have different pronunciations (e.g. the old dubbing of the anime, various Stadium games).

It’s very possible, though, that I’m missing something – if anybody finds anything, please feel free to post your own answers!
