How To Make Your Pokemon Obey You in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

High-level Pokemon are one of the most sought-after creatures of the game due to their large HP bars and powerful capabilities. However, once players use them in battle, these Pokemon can sometimes disobey orders, despite selecting a specific move. To help with this issue, we’ll show you how to make your Pokemon obey you in Scarlet and Violet.

When you initially begin your journey in Scarlet and Violet, you’ll have the opportunity to level up your Pokemon by participating in various battles. Players can also capture these mighty creatures throughout the Paldea region by using specific Poke Balls. But the only problem is that high levels can cause your Pokemon to not listen to you during fights.

Fortunately, players can earn Gym Badges to make their Pokemon obey them. You can acquire these items from Gym Leaders from many areas on the map, including Alfornada Gym, Cascarrafa Gym, and Montenevera Gym. The first challenge allows players to command Level 25 Pokemon, while the last Gym covers every level.
