 In the {{pkmn|anime}}, if the Trainer does not send out a replacement Pokémon, he or she must forfeit the match.
-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 trainer, as demonstrated in ''[[AG173|All that Glitters is Not Golden]]''.
 Usually during [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, there are rules preventing [[Gym Leader]]s from switching their Pokémon, but challengers are allowed to make substitutions if needed. It is not uncommon for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to recall their Pokémon to cure {{status|confusion}}.
