Both of the nams are nice, really. Each being a play on different aspects of the design while both keeping in mind the explosive aspect of the UB, itself.

I get what it means dumbass. I mean the name doesn't look like it belongs to that Pokemon, unlike Pierroteknik and Kopplosio which sound silly and clownish.

It would have been nicer if its name was specifically clown-related rather than literally meaning "exploding head" though. There's plenty of silly clown-related words they could have chosen from

Blacephalon is fine, but I do think Pierroteknik deserves more points.
The former is just two descriptive words smashed together, the latter substitutes part of one descriptive work for another for some decent wordplay.

blacephalon is just bla(st)+-cephalon, two pretty simple words that don't even go well together
pierroteknik actually sounds original and it's a nice play of words fusing two words that sound similar and still making a lot of sense

Quoted By:

Personally, I don't really like Pierroteknik that much. Though the design is colourful, it's also very soft and ghostly which is reflected in how calm pierrot is as a word but ends up being offset by the harsh syllables of "teknik" hosting a harsh T and two hard K's. That name gives it a much stiffer tone than the design is, which is silly and smooth in motion - perfectly captured by how Blacephalon rolls around the mouth in a pleasant manner. Speaking of how it rolls around the mouth, that also feels similar how its head bounces and rolls about Blacephalon feels much more befitting of its design.

Yeah. "Cephalo" is already a real word, no idea why they have to make it "cephalon" which makes it awkward.

The original statement wasn't that it didn't look good, it was that it didn't resemble the pokemon at all.

I know it's just a portmanteau, but it reminds me so much of that one episode of Cowboy Bebop, do you think that might be intentional? With the Mad Pierrot who blows shit up, and the final showdown happens in a creepy amusement park?
