Pending "Clear Nicknames" button in teambuilder

Nicknames are obviously an important part of the artistic expression that comes with teambuilding. But if you do get a paste with nicknames, and would rather them removed, it's pretty annoying needing to double- or triple-click on each pokemon to delete their FUNNY and CREATIVE nicknames. This can help hide information about your team or make it less obvious to your opponent that you don't know how to build

Included below is a simple mockup:

I've been giving this some more thought and I think this could also be expanded to some of the other superfluousish parts of "details" like gender and shininess.

Hypothetical situation: I appropriated several teams from a certain well-regarded user. This user tends to give all of the pokemon on their team a certain nickname. This user makes the whole team shiny (despite many of the shinies looking awful ((weavile???)) and also the whole team is male for some reason (disgusting, abhorrent ((when will it end?)). In this situation, I have to go through the whole team and remove each nickname, change every gender to something more reasonable, and unshiny certain pokemon. Such tedium and for why?
