How to increase Obedience in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Obedience in Pokemon Legends Z-A is a key factor that determines whether your critters will follow your commands during battle. While catching a creature is always exciting, if it refuses to listen to you and skips turns, that could be frustrating. High Obedience is crucial in tough fights, and increasing it is simple but requires time.

On that note, here’s how to raise Obedience in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

Everything you need to know about Obedience in Pokemon Legends Z-A

In simple words, Obedience determines how likely your Pokemon is to follow your commands. If your trainer rank is too low compared to the level of the creatures you're using, there’s a chance they won’t listen to you. This usually happens when you capture a high-level critter early in the game.

The only way to increase the Obedience Level in Pokemon Legends Z-A is by ranking up your trainer through Z-A Royale. You can begin the process by entering Battle Zones, where you’ll face other trainers in combat. Every victory earns you Ticket Points, which act as the main currency for ranking up.

Ticket Points can be used to obtain Challenger's Tickets, which give you access to Promotion Matches. You need to win these matches to rank up. For those who don't know, there are 26 trainer ranks in the game, going from Z to A. This means you have to win 25 Promotional Matches to reach A.

Winning these Matches increases your rank, which directly improves your Pokemon's obedience. To check the Obedience Level, simply go to the Save Screen by pressing "A." Right above the Save Progress button, you’ll find a note indicating up to what level Pokemon will listen to you.

That's everything you need to know about Obedience in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Do note that critters caught at levels lower than your current cap will continue to obey you, even if you train and level them up beyond your cap.
