Why won't my Impostor Ditto obey me in Ultra Moon?
Okay so, I’ve captured myself a Ditto which is now level 52. I’ve also gotten a Lucario level 70. (just beaten the Acerola trail and went into Po Town)
All my Pokemons listen fine to me except for the Ditto. It suddenly stopped obeying and that’s why I dropped it in the box because I thought maybe it was too high leveled. So now I took it out and it still doesn’t listen.
I’ve read online if traded Pokemon OUTSIDE the game need to have some sort of secret ID matching the trained ID or just a high enough badge. Also read that Pokemon you’ve caught always listen to you no matter what.
Now my question is, why wont my Ditto obey?

Check a battle using Ditto, if it says you got boosted exp( it can only be boosted if it was traded), then the game is treating it as traded and there is nothing you can do about it except complete more trials.
If you originally owned the Ditto, it should listen to you no matter what level.
Source— using rare candies to get level 100 Pokémon before beating the first trial.
If it’s traded, there are trial requirements.
Source— Pokémon. Like any game.
3rd party software may be the best bet but I can’t suggest that here, sorry.
The reason that your Ditto isn’t obeying you is that it’s level is too high. No matter where you got it from (unless you catch the Pokémon yourself), if the Pokémon’s level is too high, it won’t obey you. The reason this system is in place is so people won’t just trade over their high level Pokémon or get a high level Pokémon via trade and make the game super easy. For Sun and Moon or USUM, Pokemon obedience relies on stamps. If you have no stamps, you can control Pokémon up to level 20; if you have one you can control level 35 Pokémon and up; if you have two you can control level 50 Pokémon and up; if you have three you can control Pokémon level 65 and up; if you have four you can control Pokémon level 80 and up; and once you beat the game, you can control all levels of Pokémon.

I’m not sure what’s happening if you caught the the Pokémon yourself, though. For some reason the game is treating it like an outsider Pokémon. In any case, once you beat the game it will obey you for sure.
I hope this helped! :)
