In Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, renaming a traded Pokemon is a bit tricky! You can't just go and change their names like your own caught Pokemon. Traded Pokemon are special because they keep the names given to them by their original trainers as a sign of respect and connection. So, if you’ve got a traded Pokemon, its nickname is pretty much set in stone unless it's never been nicknamed before.

Here's a hot take: Why would you want to rename a traded Pokémon anyway? The name it comes with is part of its charm and history. It's like adopting a pet; you wouldn't just change its name on day one, or would you?

Actually, you can’t rename a traded Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. They’re meant to keep the names their original trainers gave them, sort of like a badge of honor or a keepsake!
