[[Non-player character|NPC]]-nicknamed Pokémon are somewhat rare, and almost never encountered in battles. However, all Pokémon acquired from [[in-game trade]]s have nicknames, as well as all [[List of Contest opponents|Pokémon used by NPC Coordinators]] prior to [[Generation VI]]. Likely to emphasize the {{DL|Shiny Pokémon|Pokémon Stadium|color change effect}}, most of the Pokémon encountered in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} also have nicknames. Team Rocket's nicknamed Pokémon have numbers in their nicknames (which was impossible on hand-held games at the time). | [[Non-player character|NPC]]-nicknamed Pokémon are somewhat rare, and almost never encountered in battles.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the player can trade with Lass Dye a Petilil or Cottonee (depending on the game version) for the opposite Pokémon in [[Nacrene City]]. If the player returns to her after defeating Team Plasma at the end of the game, they can battle her, and she will use their former Pokémon. If this Pokémon was given a nickname by the player before being traded, it will appear with the nickname in this battle, marking the first time in the main series that the player can battle a nicknamed Pokémon used by an NPC. | |||
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, due to NPC and player switching one of their Pokémon in [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]]'s Mix Tournament, it is possible to fight a nicknamed Pokémon if the Pokémon chosen by opponent had a nickname. | In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, due to NPC and player switching one of their Pokémon in [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]]'s Mix Tournament, it is possible to fight a nicknamed Pokémon if the Pokémon chosen by opponent had a nickname. | ||
