How to change a nickname

Changing a nickname is unavailable usually.

Nickname is not subject to change. However you players can request nickname change only when meeting the following conditions:

• Real name is used mistakenly
• The nickname can be used to identify personal information

The request will take a few weeks to be accepted.

Add a number to the name if it is unavailable

If the name you want to use is used already by someone, add a number into the name. However, avoid using a number which can be used to identify your personal information, such as your birth day.

Convert uppercase letters to lowercase and vice versa

Uppercase letters and lowercase are different in Pokemon Go.

Must not use the name can be used to identify personal information

Since Pokemon Go use your location information, using the name can be used for identifying personal information may cause trouble.
