Why doesn't my Pokémon play with the Pokétoy?

Question

This week, my friend traded me a Zamazenta, so I started camp to see it. I tried to get it to play with the poke toy but it did "..." then it got salty at me. Is this normal or a bug that started? he didn't IV train Aegis or get pokerus so there's nothing I see wrong with it. he just got the best friends ribbon for it but not even put it on yet.

Because he's sad his owner abandoned him to a stranger and now you're making him play with a toy when he's a legendary pokemon and you also want to put a ribbon on him and make him sick.

Seriously though idk. Why do you want him to play with the toy? I've never done pokemon camp.

thats funny but i just befriend all pokemon so I did camp and I check if nature issues are a thing

If you play with a Pokemon enough at once, they'll eventually get to a point where they won't play anymore unless you make curry. Maybe that's what's happening?

like he fed it curry before hand so that wouldn't happen but if that was the case it would show a music note not the pokemon being angry
