Physics OverlapSphere not including object with rigid body that was moved using transform

I have not tried moving with rigidbody.position, I can give that a try.

To expand a little on what im trying to do. Ive got an object pool of quite a few game objects which are enemies. Im also trying to avoid the SetActive(true) hit by keeping them active but with some of the components disabled. I keep this pool of enemies out of sight in the scene and swap them in when needed.

The basic enemy has 1 rigid body and animation and navmesh agent. So its not too big a hit to have 30 or 40 of these active and running around. When something happens to kill one of these enemies I am trying to swap it out and swap a ragdoll in and set all the ragdolls rigid bodies to isKinematic=false.

I could have the main enemey fully setup with joints and rigid bodies on the main body parts but with 30 or 40 of them running around with that many rigid bodies it starts to kill performance on mobile (or an older tablet im testing with).

Anyway, I can work around the issue of the overlap sphere thing. I just found it odd that it could not detect something that was moved next to it in the previous line of script. I found a similar issue with the AddExplosionForce method. Even though i move the object right next to the explosion source in the pervious line of script it behaves as if the object is still far away with little or no force being added to the object.
