Over the last few days I've had a few Pokemon run away while I was trying to catch them. Sometimes a Pokemon runs away after a few tries while others go for much longer. I have berries now so I can try to keep around longer, but I don't know if and when a Pokemon will run away.
Is there a a way to tell when Pokemon are about to run away or are more likely to run away?
Best Answer
Pokemon give no visual indication of being about to run away.
However, Pokemon such as Abra are (still) almost guaranteed to run following a failed capture attempt. The chance any given Pokemon will run away on the first throw (without any sort of modifier) is given in the
BaseFleeRatevariable from the decoded ProtoBuf file.Additionally, Pokemon with orange or red rings have a higher initial chance of running away. All Pokemon will run after enough turns have progressed, as the chance of a run increases each unsuccessful turn.
