>>58077106>Team Rocket was able to forcibly recall Grookey to a pokeball without its consent.Sure a Pokémon can be sent back to their ball by the ball being manually activated, but they can still leave it when their inside whenever they want. There's plenty of instances in the anime of Pokémon leaving their ball on their own. So you can send them back to the ball, but they could just leave it again. Also that specific case with that Grookey was with a Team Rocket Ball, it could totally have differences to regular Poké Balls anyway.
Also Dawn's Pachirisu could dodge the ball's recall beam.
