How to change Trainer Nickname in Pokemon GO?

- Once you have the game launched, click on the Main Menu (Poke Ball icon at the bottom of the screen)
- Select Settings on the top right and then choose Account
- You will notice the Trainer Nickname at the top of the Account page with a small pencil icon beside it. Click on it to change your Trainer Nickname. If the one you decide is already in use, the game will show variations. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the change.
- If the pencil icon is absent, you have already exhausted the opportunities to change the Trainer Nickname.
