I had a Patrat that I taught Cut, but once I got Strength I taught another Pokemon both Cut and Strength. Now the Patrat is redundant. But when I came across the Name Rater I renamed Patrat to +Cut
. (I named the other pokemon +CutStr
.) Earlier today I found the Move Deleter. I used him to delete Cut from +Cut
. Then I flew back to the Name Rater and tried to remove the nickname from +Cut
. I tried entering a blank name, but the result of that was that the name was unchanged. Then I tried naming it Patrat
, which worked.
Has its nickname been removed, or do I now have a Patrat whose nickname is Patrat
? What would happen if it evolved? Would its name become Watchog
or would it evolve into Watchog but still be called Patrat
? (If I had enough Rare Candies then I would try it out to see what happens, without saving the game, but I have only 4 Rare Candies so far.)
