A roaming Pokémon can become trapped if it is hit by a {{cat|trapping moves|trapping move}} before it is able to act. {{cat|Trapping Abilities}} (such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}) can only prevent the Pokémon from attempting to flee if in place at the start of the turn; if a Pokémon with a trapping Ability is switched in, its Ability will not prevent the roaming Pokémon from fleeing on that turn if it is able. Status conditions do not prevent a roaming Pokémon from fleeing. | A roaming Pokémon can become trapped if it is hit by a {{cat|trapping moves|trapping move}} before it is able to act. {{cat|Trapping Abilities}} (such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}) can only prevent the Pokémon from attempting to flee if in place at the start of the turn; if a Pokémon with a trapping Ability is switched in, its Ability will not prevent the roaming Pokémon from fleeing on that turn if it is able.
