Shadow Tag
Prevents opponents from fleeing or switching out.
How it works
While this Pokémon is in battle, opposing Pokémon cannot flee or switch out.
Other Pokémon with this ability are unaffected. Pokémon with Run Away can still flee. Pokémon can still switch out with the use of a move or item.
Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
