Customization is one of the unique features added in almost every video game of recent times, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are no exception.

Can I Give a Nickname to My Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Explained
In the Pokemon games, Pokemon capturing and evolution plays a key role. Without powerful Pokemon teammates, players can’t progress forward. So, it is pretty natural that you want your favorite Pokemon to be unique from others. The appearance of the Pokemon can’t be changed, but players can give them unique names to customize their loved teammates.
If you are a Veteran player, you probably remember that previously the Pokemon games featured NPCs that you needed to visit to change the name of the Pokemon, but Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have removed that feature, and players can now change the name themselves by following a few simple steps-
- Open Menu (Press X)
- Select the Pokemon you want to give a new name
- Click on Check Summary
- Select Change Nickname (Press X)
- Enter the name and Save it. (Press +)
That’s all you need to know about how to change the Pokemon’s nickname in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. You can follow the same process to change it back to its original name. This time enter the Original name of the Pokemon. Additionally, when you change the name of a Pokemon in its base form, the name will remain the same for the evolved forms too.
That’s all you need to know about how to change the name of the Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The name you choose for your Pokemon must be between 12 characters and must not be anything obscene or vulgar.
