If the Trainer makes a substitution when it is not allowed, the Trainer automatically loses the battle. This was seen in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], when [[Iris's Emolga]] forced a switch by using {{m|Volt Switch}} during the tournament battle, where each Trainer was supposed to use only one Pokémon. | ||
It appears as though a Pokémon can actually refuse, or even dodge a Trainer's recall command. While this usually is a result of {{DL|Level|disobedience}}, it can sometimes be a sign that the Pokémon is concerned for its Trainer, such as in ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', or another person or Pokémon, as seen in ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]''. In some cases, a third party such as another Trainer's Pokémon or a wild Pokémon can interfere with the recall command towards a Trainer's Pokémon. This was demonstrated in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' where a wild Beedrill that abducted [[Ash's Metapod]] managed to dodge Ash's recall command while holding Metapod; and in ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'' where [[Brock's Onix]] was constricting [[Ash's Pikachu]] and blocked out Ash's recall command. If a human is hit with the recall beam, it will temporarily stun the person, as demonstrated in ''[[AG173|All that Glitters is Not Golden]]'' | It appears as though a Pokémon can actually refuse, or even dodge a Trainer's recall command.

Likewise, Pokémon can return to their Poké Ball of their own accord, as demonstrated in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', when the Pokémon belonging to {{Gary}} and various other Trainers refused to come out of their Poké Balls to deal with the {{p|Diglett}}, due to not wanting to contribute to the ecological disaster that the construction of the [[Gaiva Dam]] would cause. | Likewise, Pokémon can return to their Poké Ball of their own accord, as demonstrated in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', when the Pokémon belonging to {{Gary}} and various other Trainers refused to come out of their Poké Balls to deal with the {{p|Diglett}}, due to not wanting to contribute to the ecological disaster that the construction of the [[Gaiva Dam]] would cause. | ||
