The Name Rater will be a senior gentleman who will be sitting at the lower table. You can start a conversation with him. And then you can change the default name of your mini companion. Show him the Pokemon of which you want to customize the name.
How to Change the Nicknames of Pokemon
Firstly, the Name Rater will check the name of the Pokemon. And then rate the present nickname. If the Pokemon is captured, it will receive a suitable rating.
