Why won t my Pokémon obey me?

Answered by Michael Wilson

Well, it can be really frustrating when your Pokémon just won’t listen to you, right? I’ve been there, and let me tell you, it’s not a fun experience. But don’t worry, I’ve got some insights for you on why your Pokémon might be disobeying you.

One reason could be that your Pokémon’s level is too high compared to your Trainer level. You see, Pokémon have certain obedience levels based on the number of Gym Badges you’ve collected. If your Pokémon’s level exceeds your Trainer level, it might start disobeying you. It’s like they think they’re stronger and don’t need your commands anymore! So, it’s important to make sure your Pokémon’s level matches your Trainer level to maintain their obedience.

Another factor that can affect obedience is how you obtained your Pokémon. If you received a Pokémon through a trade, there’s a chance it won’t listen to you right away. It’s like they’re still getting used to their new Trainer, and it takes time to build that bond and trust. So, don’t get discouraged if your traded Pokémon doesn’t obey your commands immediately. Keep training and spending time with them, and eventually, they’ll come around.

Now, let me share a personal experience with you. I remember when my friend traded me a powerful Pokémon that was way above my Trainer level. I was so excited to have such a strong Pokémon on my team, but to my dismay, it completely ignored my commands in battles. It was like it had a mind of its own! I quickly realized that I needed to level up and earn more Gym Badges to gain its respect and obedience. It took some time and effort, but eventually, my Pokémon started obeying me again.

To sum it up, if your Pokémon is disobeying you, it could be due to overleveling or receiving it in a trade. Make sure your Pokémon’s level matches your Trainer level, and be patient and spend time bonding with traded Pokémon. Over time, they’ll come to respect and listen to you again. Remember, building a strong relationship with your Pokémon is key to their obedience. So keep training, battling, and having fun together!
