What does it mean when a Pokemon is loafing around?

In the games. An outsider Pokémon will often not obey the player’s commands if its level is too high and the player does not have the appropriate Badge, Stamp, or number of Badges. This mechanic exists to prevent players from trading in a high-leveled Pokémon from another game and easily beating the game.

At what level do Pokemon stop obeying you?

after level 10, your traded pokemon will disobey you. You’ll need the second badge to have level 30 and below traded pokemon to obey you. Pokemon you’ve caught directly in your game will never disobey you.

Why can’t I catch Pokemon in the wild area?

Are Pokemon caught at higher levels weaker?

Yes, pokemon caught early will continue to have their level caps increased when you level up. It does not matter what level you catch them. Just keep in mind the formula for a Pokemon’s level cap, which is your trainer level + 1.5 (but the final cap for a pokemon is currently around 40).

Should you max Pokemon before evolving?

Is it better to train a Pokemon from a lower level?

They don’t gain experience by battling so forget about that. Instead, you have to use Stardust and Pokemon Candies. Whenever you catch Pokemon, you’ll receive some Stardust.

Do lower evolutions level faster?

No, each Pokemon has a certain growth rate (Fast, medium, Slow) and every form across it evolutionary path shares it. The only reason you would not evolve a pokemon is so that it learns moves faster.

Is there a benefit to not evolving Pokemon?

One benefit of delaying evolution is that unevolved Pokémon often learn powerful attacks earlier than their subsequent evolutions. Some evolved Pokémon also lose the ability to learn certain attacks. See our Pokédex for information on the Levels at which Pokémon learn their attacks.
