Changing your Pokemon's nickname in Pokemon Violet is super easy! Just head over to any Pokemon Center and talk to the Name Rater. He's the guy who can help you rename your Pokemon. Remember though, you can only rename Pokemon that you've caught yourself. Traded Pokemon? Nope, they're stuck with whatever name they came with.

Actually, you can rename Pokemon in Violet, but only if you're the original trainer. Traded Pokemon are a no-go for nicknames. Learned that the hard way.

Short and sweet - go to the Name Rater in a Pokemon Center. Can't miss him!
