Changing Your Trainer Icon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
When playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, players have the option to take two different types of pictures: their profile picture and their trainer icon. The trainer icon is displayed during multiplayer gameplay and can be customized to show off a new look or even feature a Pokémon.
Customizing Your Trainer Icon
The process of changing your trainer icon can be a bit tricky, but with these steps, you can update your icon to reflect your personality or showcase a favorite Pokémon.
What You Need to Know
- Changing your trainer icon requires accessing your Pokédex and navigating to the side menu.
- You can only change your trainer icon when you are not in a location where wild Pokémon can attack you.
- Be cautious when taking a picture for your trainer icon, as the small circle dimensions can make it difficult to capture the perfect shot.
Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Trainer Icon
- Press the – button to bring up your Pokédex.
- Click the X button to access the side menu with the three colored icons on the left side.
- Go down to the green icon and select it to bring up your profile.
- Select the Change Photo option by hitting the + button.
- Choose the option to change your Trainer icon.
After selecting the option to change your Trainer icon, you will be prompted to take a new picture. Be mindful of the small circle dimensions and try to position your character or Pokémon within the frame. You cannot zoom out, so use your camera angles creatively to get the perfect shot.
Taking a picture of one of your Pokémon can be challenging, as they may follow you if you get too far away. Be patient and strategic when taking the photo to ensure it turns out as desired.Related Articles:
