* Franchise-wide
** "Sheep skirt", for the petticoats worn by Cure Lemonade (first costume) and the ''Fresh'', ''Suite'', and ''Princess'' Cures, coined by a Website/LiveJournal entry reviewing the Cure costumes up to the first half of ''Suite''.
** "Neo-[=PreCure=] era", for Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure and its successors being revamps of the franchise.
** "The Toei Trinity" refers collectively to Precure, ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/KamenRider''.
** "First generation" refers to seasons ranging from ''Futari Wa '' to ''Happiness Charge''.
** "Second generation" refers to seasons ranging from ''Go Princess'' to ''Hirogaru Sky''.
* ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar''
** Pineapple - Saki, for Cure Bloom's hair which resembles a pineapple.
** [[CharacterTags Not!Nagisa and Not!Honoka]] - Saki and Mai early on. These nicknames have quickly fallen out of use.
* ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''
** [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Babaa-sama]] - Karen, as her appearance and voice don't match her age.
*** Also, [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Honoka]] Bitchy Edition.
** Nozomi is "Donut" for her hairstyle. (Or was; a character was introduced in season two who is actually named King Donut, which quickly squashed any use of the name.)
** Urara is "Cream Horn" for similar reasons to Nozomi. Also, "Cure Pine-Sol", because her [[InTheNameOfTheMoon speech]] sounds like a pitch for a cleaning product.
** Komachi is "Retasu" after the ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' character from whom she is obviously cloned (also, "Mama", to match "Babaa").
** Kurumilk - Milk/Kurumi/Milky Rose. This name is more popular in Japanese fandom.
** Aqua Sword - Cure Aqua's Aqua Ribbon, which becomes a sword due to NewPowersAsThePlotDemands.
** Mint Cannon - Cure Mint's KamehameHadoken version of Mint Shield.
** [=UraPoji=] - The top half of Urara's head poking out from the bottom of the screen at one point in episode 6.
** The [[MirrorMatch members of Dark Cure]] all get goofy names reacting to something about the original Cure.
** Pretty Cure Rangers - The show itself, being the first [[FiveManBand team of five]] rather than a duo, and colour-coded at that.
* ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure''
** [=AnaHol=]-kun: The crudely-drawn dog thing on the sign of the Animal Hospital Inori's family owns.
** Cure Babaa II: Miki at first (just for looking like [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Karen]]), Setsuna later on. Both didn't last long.
** mktn: Miki(-tan), for obvious reasons... Expect it to be followed by [[CharacterCatchphrase knpk (Kanpeki!)]].
*** And followed by mnmk ([=MinaMiki=]), which is also a PortmanteauCoupleName of Shun Minami (Soular) and Miki.
** Nozomirara: Love (Cure Peach). This nickname is a portmanteau of Nozomi and Urara, both from ''Yes! Pretty Cure 5'' as well, and it was earned because of Love's resemblance to both. Didn't last long either.
** Secchin: Setsuna, naturally. A variation is "Secchan", which becomes canon later on.
** [=SetsuPoji=]: Setsuna's pose while bowling in episode 15. Was already a meme before said episode even aired.
** [[spoiler:Northa Klein:]] [[spoiler:The unnamed [[FusionDance fusion]] of Northa and Klein]].
* ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure''
** Ojamajo Pretty Cure - The show itself, because the character design is similar to ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' (''Doremi'' designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi was behind the designs in ''Heartcatch''. There's a rumor that staff making this anime also called it with such nickname.
** Cure Casshern - Cure Moonlight, with the similar reason like above, but for ''Anime/CasshernSins'' instead.
*** Also, Cure [[Anime/SailorMoon Mercury]], due to being voiced by Creator/AyaHisakawa.
** Cure Baro - Dark Pretty Cure, because she shares a seiyuu with [[Manga/CaseClosed Conan]] [[Creator/MinamiTakayama Edogawa]]. ''Baro'' is Shinichi/Conan's way of saying ''bakayarou'' (idiot).
** Cure Bubbles - Cure Marine, to go with the canon Cure [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Blossom]]. Now, if there's a third, green Precure...
*** [[spoiler:The third Precure is yellow, but she fits the description of "the toughest fighter", so "Cure Buttercup" is still appropriate. Which probably means Cure Moonlight is Cure Bunny...]]
** Tuxedo Megane/Tuxedo Glasses and Zetsubou Sensei II - The mysterious boy who constantly aids the Cures, that is, before it was revealed that he was actually [[spoiler:Coupe taking the form of Tsubomi's grandfather]]. The former name is given for his role similar to that of Tuxedo Kamen/Mask from "Sailor Moon", and the later for his remarkable resemblence to [[Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei Zetsubou]].
* ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'':
** Early on, the main duo were dubbed "Nagisa and Honoka 3.0" for being another pairing of a redheaded PassionateSportsGirl and a sweeter, friendlier partner.
** "Hibicake and Kanabake" for the main duo, since Hibiki loves cake, and Kanade loves to bake.
* ''Anime/SmilePrecure''
** Cure Jupiter - Nao/Cure March, due to her resemblance to [[Anime/SailorMoon Makoto Kino]]. Her mother is even voiced by [[Creator/EmiShinohara Makoto Kino's voice actress.]]
** Cure [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] - Yayoi/Cure Peace. She wears yellow, has [[ShockAndAwe Lightning powers]], and says "pika pika" in her TransformationNameAnnouncement phrase.
** Bad End Bombers - The QuirkyMinibossSquad of Wolfrun, Akaoni, and Majorina.
* ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure''
** Cure Franchise/{{Batman}} - Alice/Cure Rosetta. Ridiculously rich to the point of absurdity, perfect in nearly everything (while being kind), CrimefightingWithCash (occasionally), coming with her own '[[{{Thememobile}} Alice-mobile]]'... AND having an old butler (Sebastian) for the stand-in of Alfred? Yeah. Strangely, Alice didn't get Batman's emotional trauma, that goes to Makoto/Cure Sword instead.
** [[spoiler:Her butler Sebastian has created a TransformationTrinket for himself to transform into "Cure Sebastian" who looks pretty much like Batman]].
** Mana's Harem - The main cast plus Regina, since Mana is shipped with everyone and she has really many LesYay moments.
** [[spoiler:[[Manga/WeddingPeach Wedding Heart]]]] - Mana after events in TheMovie
* ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure''
** Cure Roughly - Referring to an incident where Megumi/Cure Lovely performed a very painful GrievousHarmWithABody attack on a MonsterOfTheWeek using two {{Mooks}}.
* ''Anime/MahoGirlsPrecure''
** Mirai Potter and Riko Weasley - The show's two leads, lampshading the similarities to ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
** [[IncrediblyLamePun Haa-]]mione Granger - For [[SixthRanger third cure]] Kotoha Hanami/Haa-chan, thus completing the trio.
* ''Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode''
** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Cure Rainbow Dash"]] fits a little ''too'' well for Cure Parfait / Ciel to be a coincidence…
** "Cure Waffle" for [[spoiler: Rio's post-HeelFaceTurn transformation]] in episode 39, not just by fans, but also some of the season's staff, including the directors and Ichika's voice actress.
* ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure''
** "Nanodeath" for Emiru, thanks to a certain fansub group. It fits because of her "-nano desu" VerbalTic and her obsession with keeping people safe from ever-more-improbable disasters.
** [[Manga/ShugoChara Cure Amulet Heart]] for Cure Yell, mostly due to their cheerleader-like design.
** "Urashima Yell" - Hana Nono as Urashima Tarō in episode 32.
** "Hana Shacho" - 2030 Hana Nono in the finale.
* ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure''
** Cure [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]] for Hanadera Nodoka/Cure Grace, voiced by Madoka Kaname's voice actress Creator/AoiYuuki.
* ''Anime/DeliciousPartyPrettyCure'':
** Because of his white tuxedo and black mask, Black Pepper gained the nickname "[[Franchise/SailorMoon Takumi Mask]]".
* ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure''
** ''[[Manga/MyHeroAcademia My Precure Academia]]'' due to Sora's desire to be a hero, and the hero who inspired her when she was young being compared to All Might.
** "[[Franchise/LoveLive Love Live]] Precure" to a lesser extent due to the season's character designer being most famous for ''Anime/LoveLiveSuperstar''.
*** As a result, Ellee as Cure Majesty is sometimes referred to as "Margarete Wien" due to a heavy resemblance.
** Mashed Potatoes - For Mashiro, based on her name.
** Cure [[Manga/{{Haikyuu}} Hinata]] for Cure Wing, voiced by Creator/AyumuMurase.
** Birb - For Tsubasa, due to his small, round bird form. In some circles, this nickname mutated into Borb ("Birb" + "orb").
** Bacon (or some variation thereof) - For Kabaton, due to being a pig. This is most common among his detractors.
** Cure Sephiroth- Dark Sky, due to the single black wing brining the TropeNamer of OneWingedAngel to mind.
