4th Gen Problem

[Ghost...]

Someone traded me a Floatzel that's caught in a Precious Ball, and I don't want to get pegged for cheating if I try to enter a tournament, so I tried to release it, but it came back and the game said "Bouey (it's nickname) came back! Was it worried about you?" What's up?

 

[El Gofre]

Wow, major glitch. Never experience something like that before. Shove it in the GTS, someone will have it off you eventually.

 

[Ghost...]

I have no wifi, so I can't. Is not being able to be released an effect of the Precious/Cherish ball?

 

[El Gofre]

No cherish ball pokes are fully releasable if i remember correctly. Make your friend have it back.

 

[Ghost...]

Good idea, I wish this would have happened when my little brother realeased my Giritina and saved...

its not a glitch its because its the only pokemon you have that knows a certain HM

 

[Ghost...]

It is? What an odd reason to stick around...

Just get the move off with the move deleter in Canalave City and he'll be released just fine.

 

[Patchy]

No, he likes you too much I think. Just let him faint all the time.

 

[Darklugia]

No, he likes you too much I think. Just let him faint all the time.

What he said. Just let him faint like loads and then release him, he shouldn't come back..

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

What he said. Just let him faint like loads and then release him, he shouldn't come back..

No, that isn't the reason why.

carter756978 is correct. The reason it returns is because of it having a HM move which none of your other Pokemon have. Happiness does not affect whether it'll be released or not.

shes right, it knows a certain HM you have to get rid of
