How to Change Nickname in Pokemon Scarlet

Honestly, who even bothers changing nicknames? Pokémon are perfect just the way they are. #OriginalNamesFTW

Easy peasy! To change your Pokémon's nickname in Pokémon Scarlet, just head over to any Pokémon Center and chat with the friendly Name Rater. He's the dude who's eager to judge your naming skills and let you rebrand your Pokémon. Just select the Pokémon whose identity crisis you're trying to solve, and type in the new nickname. Remember, you can only change the nicknames of Pokémon you've caught yourself - no renaming traded Pokémon!

Changing your Pokémon's nickname in Pokémon Scarlet is pretty easy! Just head over to any Pokémon Center and look for the Name Rater. Chat him up, and he'll offer to rate your Pokémon's name but, more importantly, will let you change it. Remember, you can only rename Pokémon that you've caught yourself. So, no renaming traded Pokémon, unfortunately.

Actually, I tried changing a nickname of a Pokémon I got from a trade, and no dice. The Name Rater guy is your go-to for your own caught Pokémon's names, though. Worked like a charm for my Grookey!
