Outsider Pokémon can only have their [[nickname]] changed by their Original Trainer. In [[Generation VIII]] only, any Pokémon that does not have a nickname and was not met in a [[fateful encounter]] can be given a nickname in a game of the same language as its language of origin, even by players other than its Original Trainer; however, once it is given a nickname this way, it has become a nicknamed Outsider Pokémon, so players other than its Original Trainer cannot change its nickname.
