Pokémon Sleep is designed to be a serene game focused on promoting healthy sleep habits. However, avid fans can still put their personal touch on the game by customizing their avatars and creating unique Pokémon-inspired titles for their Researcher persona. The only challenge is that some customization features in Niantic's sleep-tracking app can be difficult to locate. But worry not! This guide provides straightforward steps to easily change usernames, nicknames, and avatars in Pokémon Sleep.

How to Change Username

To edit your profile name in Pokemon Sleep, follow these steps:

1. Open the Main Menu.

2. Locate the avatar in the top-left corner.

3. Tap on the pen icon to access the profile editing options.

4. Choose a new name for your profile, keeping in mind that it should not exceed 12 characters.

5. Remember that special characters and emojis are not supported in usernames for this game.

How to Change Player Avatar

To change your avatar image in Pokemon Sleep, follow these steps:

1. Open the Main Menu and tap on the avatar located in the top-left corner.

2. Under the Profile section, select "Change Icon".

3. Choose a new avatar image from the provided options. Please note that it is not possible to upload pictures from your gallery. You can only select from the general or Pokemon icons available in the game.

In order to unlock new avatar icons in Pokemon Sleep, you need to increase your knowledge about Pokemon. Each time you befriend a Pokemon, its avatar will become available in the profile settings. It's important to note that simply taking pictures of Pokemon without catching them will not unlock their avatars.

How to Change Pokemon Nickname

To change a Pokemon's nickname, players can tap on its card in the Pokemon Box. They should first open the Pokeball menu, then navigate to the Pokemon Box and select the creature they want to rename. From there, they can tap on the pen icon next to its current title to assign a new nickname. Additionally, players have the option to rename Pokemon from the Edit Team section in the Pokeball menu. It's important to note that Pokemon nicknames in Pokemon Sleep cannot exceed 12 characters and should not contain special characters or emojis, as they are not supported.

How to Change the Helper Team’s Name

To change the Helper Team's name in the Pokeball menu, simply select Edit Team and tap the pen icon next to the team's title. Please note that squad titles can be up to 24 characters, but special characters or emojis are not allowed. Additionally, Pokemon Sleep is now accessible on mobile devices.
