Have you ever had a Pokémon disobey you?

I tried to import a bunch of Pokemon into Yellow when I was younger to take on Brock. It did not end well.
Other than that, the only other Pokemon that has consistently not listened to me has been Ash-Greninja during my first run of Ultra Sun. It basically worked like it had Truant as its ability and it was so much higher than a lot of the other Pokemon that it didn't make too much of a difference. I still feel like it was a bit of an insta-win button in the early game and that my other Pokemon were underleveled as a result which is why I had to start over.

I also tried to take on Brock with stronger 'mons imported back from Silver to Yellow (Silver was my sort of main game at the time). You can sort of guess what happened.
You can still get Ash-Greninja? I might use him for Ultra Sun.

It's kind of convoluted. I think you have to import him from the demo into a copy of Sun or Moon, then trade or Pokebank him over to Ultra Sun.
I'd really wait to use him until after the second island though. Not so much because he doesn't always listen but because as I mentioned earlier I relied on him too much against totems like Marowak and it came back to bite me in the later game.

I was planning to use Starmie as part of my US team, and you can get her on the second island anyway. So I might add Greninja on by then.

One time I traded over my level 100 Event Reshiram over towards Black so I can beat Burgh (I found him to be the hardest gym leader of all time). I barely won that battle...

No of course not, I am a great trainer, just don't go looking in my basement there are no dead disobedient Pokemon bodies down there
In all seriousness yes, back when I was younger, I am sure everyone has and I mean that sincerely

A few times, especially in XY where I did like half in-game/half Wonder Trade teams.
I get why it is part of the games, to not make it too easy. But with the whole Affection and Happiness mechanisms, there should be ways to basically 'avoid' it, since it seems weird that a pokemon doesn't obey, but doesn't get under confusion because you played a lot with it in Amie or refresh

Amie/Refresh, the EXP Share now being able to be turned on or off and fast levelling-up are the reasons I breezed through the Gen 6 and 7 games. I beat X, Omega Ruby and Sun in one week.
(By comparison, I beat Platinum in two months.)

It was hell using traded Pokémon before we are able to obtain the 2nd badge in the gen 1 - 6 games. Always thought they set the level too low from which Pokémon start to disobey. A level 11 Pokémon starts disobeying, like wth? Thankfully they've changed the mechanics of this in gen 7.

In one of my Silver plays back when I was a kid, I had gotten the tradeable Onix before I beat Falkner, because I really wanted to win.
Little did I know, that Onix would not pay me any mind. It ended up losing to Falkner's team. I eventually stored it in the PC and left it to die.

Yea, whenever I sent over-leveled Pokemon from one game to another.

Yeah, when using traded pokemon or ones from in game trades.
However, for many years I thought this applied to all pokemon, even your own. From when I started playing during gen 1 all the way till gen 5 or 6 I thought this was a thing and was always afraid my mons become too high levelled.

Oh yes. I remember one time in Pokemon Colosseum where one of my Pokemon hit me. Caught me off guard
Your Pokémon hit you? You mean it was confused and hit itself, or it hit your ally?
You probably chose Snivy as your starter. I chose Tepig and didn't have much trouble... apart from his Dwebble.

I have, yet I'm drawing a blank at when exactly.
All I can recall for certain was my very first time playing Blue, since I had no idea what I was doing. I remember having one disobey from a trade, and being paranoid as all hell my own would start disobeying at a certain level cap; unaware entirely it only referred to traded Pokemon.
Feel like I've been pretty careful since then, though.

It hit me! XD I remember when it happened and I didn't think it could hit me. (It may have been my ally, but I think it was my character.)
