Last updated
Ever wondered if you can switch up your trainer name in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into whether you can give your avatar a fresh new identity!
Many players ask, “Can I change my username on Pokemon GO?” and we’re here to clear up the confusion.
Yes, You Can Change Your Username!
Good news, trainers! You actually can change your username in Pokemon GO, but there’s a catch. You can only do it once, so make sure you pick a username you really love.
To change your username, simply tap on the PokeBall icon on the main screen, go to the settings, and select ‘Change Nickname’. Remember, since you can only do this once, choose wisely and make it count!
Why Change Your Username?
Maybe you’ve outgrown your current username or you just want something that reflects your true Pokemon trainer spirit. Changing your username can give your gaming experience a breath of fresh air, letting you express your new identity in the world of Pokemon GO.
But don’t forget, the name you choose should adhere to the game’s guidelines to ensure it’s appropriate and doesn’t get flagged.
