How to change Trainer Nickname in Pokemon GO?

While it can only be done a limited number of times, you can change your Trainer Nickname in-game. To do so, follow the below-mentioned steps:

  • 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.
