Changing your Pokémon's nickname in Pokémon Violet is super easy! All you gotta do is head to any Pokémon Center and chat with the NPC who's the Name Rater. He's the guy who's all about names, and he'll let you rename your Pokémon for free, as long as you're its original Trainer. Just make sure you're really in love with the new nickname, though you can change it again if you change your mind.

Hot take: Who even bothers changing nicknames? Pokémon should keep the names they're caught with. It's like destiny.

I renamed my Pikachu to 'Sparky,' and it was the best decision I've made in the game. Just find the Name Rater in the Pokémon Center. It adds a personal touch to your journey!
