How to Give Nicknames to Traded Pokemon | |
---|---|
1 | Select the traded Pokemon you want to rename in the Pokemon Menu, and select 'Check Summary'. |
2 | In the Summary Menu, press the 'X Button'. Once the nickname screen comes up, enter the name you prefer for your new Pokemon. Remember, you can only give traded Pokemon a nickname once, so make sure to double-check for any typos or other mistakes. |
3 | Your traded Pokemon now has a new name. |
Unfortunately, for traded Pokemon that already have nicknames, there is currently no way to change their nicknames whatsoever.
If you do not want to end up trading for a Pokemon that already has a nickname, we recommend using Link Trade instead of Surprise Trade.
With Link Trading, you can trade with friends and ensure that the Pokemon they will trade you does not have a nickname yet.
Meanwhile, Surprise Trading has a higher chance of getting you a Pokemon that's already been given a name by another trainer, This is because you can't see the Pokemon you're trading for until the transaction is over.
