Name every Pokémon within a horde differently

[Meh]

Let's suppose you are hunting a Growlithe with an especific ability, namely "Intimidate", and you choose the horde method at route 8 (Kanto) to do so.

 

Unfortunately, all the information you get when finding one is this:
                                                                 

 

How would you -EASILY- be able to tell which one of those 3 has Intimidate?

 

 

My suggestion would be to nominate each one differently. For example, in this situation, GrowlitheA, GrowlitheB, and GrowlitheC.

So when GrowlitheB's ability activates, the message that will pop up instead will be "GrowlitheB's Intimidate", making it easier to indentify the pokémon you are looking for. 

This will also facilitate finding which pokémon is holding an item when using "Frisk".

Usually the way you do it is with a move that swaps your abilities, such a skill swap
