Obedience: Difference between revisions

'''Obedience''' is the Pokémon's willingness to listen to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands. While Pokémon usually obey their Trainers, they may disobey their Trainer if they do not respect them.

The Badges or number of Badges that the player has affects their Pokémon's behavior. From Generation I to IV, usually the maximum level at which outsider Pokémon will obey the player is increased every second Badge (in Badge case order); from Generation V to VI, this increase occurs for every Badge instead of every other Badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the player has. This can be attributed to the non-linear way the player can obtain the {{badge|Cobble}} and {{badge|Fen}}s.

In the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]], Kukui states that the {{a|Battle Bond}} {{p|Greninja}} requires the player to have defeated two grand trials before it will obey the Trainer in the full game.

===Mechanics===

====Generation II====

In battles in which [[experience]] can be earned, an [[outsider Pokémon]] may disobey the player if its level is greater than the maximum controllable level  <code>M</code> granted by the player's Badges.

====Generation III and IV====

In battles in which [[experience]] can be earned and the [[Trainer Tower]], an [[outsider Pokémon]] may disobey the player if its level is greater than the maximum controllable level <code>M</code> granted by the player's Badges. In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, <code>M</code> is treated as 0 for the obedience check of a {{p|Deoxys}} or {{p|Mew}} that is not met in a [[fateful encounter]], ignoring the player's Badges.
