Actually, it's a no-go. Traded Pokémon keep their nicknames as a sign of respect for the original trainer's choices. Makes each Pokémon's journey kinda special, don't ya think?

Big no. Traded Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet are stuck with their given nicknames. It's a tradition in Pokémon games to lock in those names as a nod to their original trainers.

Nope, you can't rename Pokémon you've received through trades in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The original trainer's set nickname sticks with the Pokémon to preserve the bond and originality. It's been a rule in the Pokémon games for ages to keep the connection between the original trainer and the Pokémon.
