If you don’t like the old names and avatars, with just a few steps you can change them. However, please consider carefully, because:

• After changing the name this time, it will be the name you must use forever for the rest of your game.
• Changing your name and profile picture will most likely cause others not to recognize it.

How to change characters in Pokemon GO

Step 1: Also from the main interface, touch avatar icon characters play (in the bottom left corner of the screen). Then continue to choose three dash icon.

Step 2: Choose Customize to change the “appearance” of the character.

In this step, we do the same as when we first started set up for game play and perform character options. Can change everything, from hair color, hat, clothes, backpack … to the gender of the character.

Finished change, select on letter V icon To confirm.

However, you need to pay attention:

• Changing the playing character can be done comfortably and at will.
• But changing character names can only be done once. This means that after naming your character for the second time, you cannot change it.
• The character’s name, when changed, must still apply the old naming rules.

Wish you all success!
