Am I able to nickname my Pokemon?

I just caught my first Pokemon, but I did not see any option to give my Pokemon a name. Is there any way I am able to nickname my Pokemon?


Yes. You can rename a Pokemon at any time after catching it, it doesn't have to be directly afterwards.

  1. From the main (map) view, click the Pokéball, and go to Pokémon.
  2. Click on the Pokémon you want to rename.
  3. Rename the Pokémon by clicking on the name field.

They can be renamed as many times as you want.
