Symbols and special characters in Pokémon GO

Test in Pokémon GO before you confirm

Read the counter on the rename screen before you confirm.

Niantic limits how many times the Trainer Nickname pencil appears. A taken name shows variation suggestions instead of a silent save. Login email is a different field.

This is not a certified “accepted in every build” list. Copy, paste, watch the field. A box on a friend’s phone is their font.

1. In Pokémon GO, from Map View open Main Menu, Settings, Account, then the pencil on Trainer Nickname. If the pencil is missing, the account already used the allowed changes.
2. Paste once. Do not confirm yet. Watch the field for two seconds.
3. Letters vanish, the field shakes, or Confirm stays off: that client refused the script. Do not pay. Walk the fallback list below.
4. If the letters stay, read the counter, then confirm once. Check the Pokémon GO lobby list and a friend’s phone before another rename.
5. A box on someone else’s screen is their font. An empty slot after save means the filter stripped the letters after Confirm.

If the symbol tofu or vanishes

1. Drop to ★ ☆ ♡ first. They sit in more fonts than the fancy stars.
2. Then ツ 々 メ around the latin stub. Smaller ask than a string of emoji.
3. Still refused: latin only, or a Hangul Filler gap on the blank page.

Questions

Which symbols does Pokémon GO accept?

You see that in the rename field, not in a grid. Paste one, wait. If Confirm lights up and the mark stays, this client kept it. We do not invent an acceptance table.
