Palworld features well over 100 different species for players to catch and they can give each Pal an extra bit of personality by changing their name. So, here’s how to rename a Pal in Palworld.

Palworld’s map is packed full of colorful Pals to track down, coming in all different shapes and sizes. There are 111 different species if you look complete the Paldeck, from common creatures that can be found almost anywhere to rare and powerful boss Pals.

Over the course of your journey across the Palpagos Islands as you level up, you’ll likely find yourself with plenty of duplicates. With this in mind, players might want to rename their favorite Pals to make them more recognizable and add even more personality.

Here’s how to change a Pal’s name in Palworld.

How to rename Pals in Palworld

Players can assign their Pals different nicknames.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to rename a Pal in Palworld:

  1. Pause the game to bring up the menu.
  2. Scroll to the Party tab.
  3. Select the Pal you want to change and select ‘Edit.’
  4. Type in the new name and enter it to save.

This feature is ideal for making your favorite Pals easier to find, especially later on in a save when you have dozens of creatures to look through. It can also be used to help you remember which roles they are best suited for, or just for an extra bit of fun.

If you want to change a Pal’s name who isn’t currently in your party, you can repeat the same steps as above but head to the Palbox where they are stored.

So, feel free to personalize your Pals with useful or creative nicknames whenever you see fit, just like in Pokemon.
