Is a traded Pokemon's nickname supposed to remain after it evolves?

Question

I have a traded sneasel and I evolved it but it still had the nickname. Is this supposed to happen?help

Comments

Yeah I think so

Answer 1

Yes. No matter what, a Pokémon keeps it's nickname. Evolving is not some sort of way to "dump" a nickname you got traded. There is really no way to get rid of traded nicknames.

Best thing you can do is use it to breed another one.

Answer 2

You might be getting nicknames confused with Foreign names. If you for a Sneasel from someone from japan, (And had no nickname) it would have originally been ニューラ and then it would have evolved and been called "Weavile".

This doesn't happen with nicknames.
