I guess Brazil must like its ducks, eh? First, the BattleBot Black Dragon's team both being Brazilian and having a mallard plushie as their mascot despite having black dragons instead of mallards on their shirts, and now this...
On the topic of the Chinese name order, I can confirm some correspondence with the latest post by R_N here (990-995 all start with the Chinese word for "iron", just as Khu said; 996-998 all have names ending with the Chinese for "dragon" and are for the pseudolegendary line; 1000's name has a word for "rich" in its middle (and half of the phrase for "competition" at the start?!?) so it does look believable for Gholdengo; 1004's name translates to "ancient jade fish", even ends with "Yü", and is for Chi-Yu; 1009-1010 shockingly look more believable for the box legends than for the DLC, due to both starting with the same word and 1010's name ending with the phrase for "future"), and I can add these for starters:
- 906-908 punningly end with a word for "meow" instead of "cat"; both words are pronounced similarly (grass starters)
- 912-914 end with the word for "duck" (water starters)
- 932-934 start with words for "rock salt"; 3rd word of 934 is for "giant" (Nacli line)
- 962 translates to "down(/drop?) stone bird" (Bombirdier?)
- 980 corresponds with a Khu tweet about "earth king" for Clodsire's Chinese name
