Now, after a controversial overhaul of the avatar system, your Pok\u00e9mon Go character customization choices have vastly expanded.\u00a0 On April 18, Niantic dropped the \u201cRediscover Yourself\u201d update for Pok\u00e9mon Go, completely altering the look of the game\u2019s avatars and adding dozens of new ways to customize your character to look more like your IRL self\u2014or design a look you like more. The community has vocally decried this update, calling it Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s \u201cvisual doomsday,\u201d but even with Niantic acknowledging the backlash and looking at feedback, things are unlikely to go back to how they were before these changes.\u00a0 So, if you haven\u2019t kept up with Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s character customization, here are all of the available options and how to access them.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon Go Avatar customization guide: Every option and how to change your looks With the Rediscover Yourself update, Niantic added multiple ways to customize your trainer avatar. The biggest addition is the \u201cAppearance\u201d tab, which now lets you change your hairstyle along with the shape of your face, eyes, and body\u2014with other options tossed in, too.\u00a0 The Appearance tab is now available to access in the updated \u201cStyle\u201d section of your player profile, with all of the new options located within. Here is a full breakdown of what each option lets you change, how many choices are available, and more.\u00a0 All Pok\u00e9mon Go avatar hair customization options The \u201cHair\u201d tab in the Appearance menu lets you select a pre-designed hairstyle, separated by length and hair color to give your avatar. If you don\u2019t like any of the default colors, you can access more options by clicking the palette icon.\u00a0 Hair Length Number of styles available Short Five options Medium Five options Long Two options All Pok\u00e9mon Go face customization options The \u201cFace\u201d tab in the Appearance menu is the most complicated of the new options, as it gives you seven different options to change your face and eye shape\u2014though the latter only changes slightly. There are seven different presets and no additional customization options. This is also the only way to alter your eyebrow shape.\u00a0 At the bottom of this section, the palette will let you change your avatar\u2019s skin tone using more than two dozen preset options. All Pok\u00e9mon Go eye customization options Because the \u201cFace\u201d tab handles the entire shape of your facial structure, the \u201cEyes\u201d tab is only used to customize your eye color. The palette icon opens a menu with more colors to choose from.\u00a0 All Pok\u00e9mon Go body customization options The \u201cBody\u201d tab offers the most freedom in customizing your character, removing the previous need to choose your avatar\u2019s gender and giving you 10 different preset body types to choose from that will alter your model\u2019s body type. This also means the restrictions on avatar clothing have been removed, meaning you can wear any accessories regardless of your body type now. If you don\u2019t find the perfect fit from those available presets, the \u201cCustom\u201d icon will open up a new option where you can use sliders to individually alter the character model\u2019s weight, muscle, shoulders, chest, and hips.\u00a0 All Pok\u00e9mon Go clothing customization options and how to change them Since you already know where the Appearance section is, most of the other stuff in the Style menu is tied to things like clothing and accessories you can either purchase or unlock. All you need to do is select the thing you want to change and scroll through the available options to create your custom outfit.\u00a0 Be warned, there is no way to sort through the list of items quickly, meaning you will be skimming through every piece of clothing you own and that is available in the shop at the same time\u2014which can take some time and be rather tedious. That is why you should go ahead and save your favorite combinations to the \u201cOutfits\u201d tab.\u00a0 There are hundreds of items that Niantic has added to Pok\u00e9mon Go since the game originally launched, and many of them are no longer available. We aren't going to list them all here, so if you are curious to give them all a look, Serebii has a complete catalog of items past and present. How to access the Pok\u00e9mon Go character customization menu If you remember how to access the Style menu, all of the new character customization features are included in that same spot\u2014just with a slightly revamped user interface. Simply follow these steps, and you can easily customize your new avatar:\u00a0 From the overworld map, tap your Trainer Profile portrait in the bottom left corner. Click the \u201cStyle\u201d option from the menu underneath your Trainer level. Click the \u201cAppearance\u201d option near the top right of the screen.\u00a0 Once you make it to the Style menu, everything opens up since that is where you customize your avatar, purchase new clothing and accessories, and alter things like your Trainer Pose.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Rediscover-update.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204759"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1204759"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1204777,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1204759\/revisions\/1204777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1199717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1204759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1204759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1204759"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1204759"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1204759"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1204759"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1204759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
