If you have Sword/Shield, you can rename pokemon that didn't originate from your savefile, as long as they do not already have a nickname, are not a foreign language Pokémon, and are not a "fateful encounter". Transferring them to SWSH through HOME would allow you to select a new nickname at any Name Rater in any Pokémon Center, but be aware the change is permanent once given a nickname.

If you have an older model switch, you can easily install custom firmware and extract your savefile, check this site to see if your switch is "unpatched" and can be modified.

If it is unpatched, proceed to this guide:
https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/user_guide/sysnand/sd_preparation/

If you don't have a hacked switch/are unable to hack your switch (if it's patched, a V2, Lite, or OLED model), you can still use PKHeX with Gen 8 games without custom firmware.
If you need something traded to you in Generation 8, consider going to the "#sysbot-servers" channel in the PKHeX Development Project server to find a server hosting an instance of the Sysbot.NET bot.

Sysbot.NET is capable of dumping your Pokémon to files, allowing you to alter them in PKHeX, and then trading them back to you. Be aware that you should trade the bot your original copy of your Pokémon for the altered copy, as having two copies of the same Pokémon in BDSP will potentially set off the "PokeDupeChecker" and cause them to become flagged as a clone, which will make them unusable online. (This only occurs for Pokémon that originate from BDSP, and are not natural clones like Nincada or NPC trade Pokémon)

I am just looking for someone who will hopefully do that for me. To just rename my mons.

Does anyone here dabble in pkhex for bdsp? I traded some pokemon from pokemon go to BDSP and I can't change their nicknames. Anyone with modding software can trade and send back with the right nicknames? Thank you!
