What name does the Greedent chef use in Pokémon Pokopia?

The Greedent chef in Pokémon Pokopia is called Chef Dente.

Chef Dente is a special Greedent encountered during Ditto’s journey. The character once belonged to a chef trainer, which explains the cooking-themed identity and name. Chef Dente is part of Pokopia’s cast of Pokémon with distinctive histories and roles.

The name is a pun on “al dente,” a culinary phrase describing pasta cooked so it retains some firmness. It is also built around “Dente,” making the character’s name sound like a chef’s title while still referencing its Pokémon identity.

Chef Dente should not be confused with Greedent’s standard species name or with a human chef in the game. Pokopia gives several Pokémon individualized names and backgrounds, including Mosslax, Smearguru, DJ Rotom, and Tinkmaster.
