In the [[core series]] Pokémon games, it is possible to '''escape''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|逃|に}}げる''' ''escape'') from a {{pkmn|battle}} with a [[wild Pokémon]] by selecting '''Run''' (Japanese: '''にげる''' ''Run'') on the main battle screen. However, escape is not guaranteed; whether the player is successful at running away from the battle is determined by a calculation involving the speed of the combatants. When the escape is successful, the battle ends immediately. When it is not successful, the wild Pokémon will use a move. | In the [[core series]] Pokémon games, it is possible to '''escape''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|逃|に}}げる''' ''escape'') from a {{pkmn|battle}} with a [[wild Pokémon]] by selecting '''Run''' (Japanese: '''にげる''' ''Run'') on the main battle screen.

However, in battles against other players, attempting to escape will cause the battle to end immediately, without fail.
