Shadow Tag (Japanese: かげふみ Stepping on Shadows) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only two Pokémon have this ability, both in the same evolutionary line.
Effect
In battle
Shadow Tag prevents the foe from switching out or fleeing. In a wild battle against a Pokémon with Shadow Tag, the Trainer is unable to run away. Run Away negates its effect, but only in a wild battle. Similarly, as of Generation IV, if two Pokémon with Shadow Tag face one another, both may switch out at any time.
In a double battle, Shadow Tag does not affect the partner Pokémon.
Outside of battle
Shadow Tag has no effect outside of battle.
