-Shipping Name Origin
Unlike the majority of other Pokémon pairings, there is currently no commonly used -shipping name for Piers/Victor as of 2025. RawVictoryShipping, coined by Kyuu-Tales for the Neverending Romance ship name list on 02 December 2019,[1] is considered its "official" name, but this name isn't used by shippers.
LachesismShipping and SonderShipping have been proposed as replacements by shipper prose-merlin, though neither have caught on.[2]
