Is there a way to prevent wild Pokémon from running away in battle?
I recently failed to catch a shiny Pokémon after it ran away from a battle. I know previous Pokémon games have had moves that prevent wild Pokémon from running away, but I don't know if they exist in Legends.
Does Pokémon Legends Arceus have a way to prevent wild Pokémon from running away from a battle?
Best Answer
As said here, you can stun them to slow them down (or another stealth approach), but I don't think there is a way to completely guarantee them from running away.

How do you stop a wild Pokémon from escaping?
A Pok\xe9mon with the Ability Shadow Tag prevents opposing Pok\xe9mon from attempting to flee. (From Generation IV onward, Pok\xe9mon with Shadow Tag are unaffected by Shadow Tag.) A Pok\xe9mon with the Ability Arena Trap prevents opposing grounded Pok\xe9mon from attempting to flee.Is there a move that stops Pokémon from fleeing?
Mean Look prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via Teleport). It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. The effect only applies as long as the Pok\xe9mon that used it remains in battle.How do you stop a Pokémon from fleeing arceus?
The Pokemon BDSP Mean Look move can be an incredibly useful move to have in your party, because the move prevents wild Pokemon from escaping. This can make catching three of the legendary Pokemon in Pokemon BDSP, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, much easier, because they tend to flee from battles pretty often.Pokemon Arceus: 10 Things The Game DOESN'T TELL YOU
