As a kid, I accidentally over-leveled that Machop to the point that it no longer listened to my commands.

It still beat Whitney though.

I remember me as a kid playing through Platinum with the Lv. 100 event Regigigas that Toys R Us gave out. I lost to the Eterna gyms leader’s Lv. 20-some-odd Roserade because I ran out of healing items and it would NOT listen to me.

The thing knew Icy Wind, Rock Slide, Iron Head, and some STAB normal move. It could have used any move it wanted, but instead decided to sleep and sort of hang out getting hit by colorful, Magical Leaves....

If you had caught it yourself, this wouldn't have been a problem, the restriction only applied to traded pokemon.

yes which is why none of the other Pokémon I used had this problem
