Nope, you can't rename traded Pokemon in Pokemon Violet. It's like that old saying goes, "a Pokemon's name is its bond." Once you get a traded Pokemon, its nickname is pretty much locked in unless it never had one to begin with. So if you're picky about names, make sure to choose wisely when trading!

Not a chance, you're stuck with the name. Think of it as the Pokemon world's version of 'no take-backs'.

Yes, but actually no. You can only rename traded Pokemon if they haven't been given a nickname before. If that Eevee you got is straight-up named 'Eevee', congrats, you get to pick a new name! But if it's named something like 'Fluffy', you're stuck with it. Choose your trades well, folks.
