 '''Roaming Pokémon''' are a type of [[legendary Pokémon]] that, instead of remaining in one place as a special event, run around the region they appear in, seemingly at random. Roaming Pokémon have appeared in every [[main series]] game since [[Generation II]].
-In addition to their changing of [[route]]s (something that happens every time the {{player}} passes through a route boundary), they will also, on the first turn of battle, attempt to flee. The only way to prevent this is to either use a trapping [[move]] such as {{m|Mean Look}} or have the Pokémon sent out have a trapping [[ability]] such as {{a|Shadow Tag}} or {{a|Arena Trap}}.

The only way to prevent this is to either use a trapping [[move]] such as {{m|Mean Look}} or have the Pokémon sent out have a trapping [[ability]] such as {{a|Shadow Tag}} or {{a|Arena Trap}}.  If they try to flee and fail, they attack on the same turn.
 In Generations II and III, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} can use his or her [[Pokédex]] to check the ever-changing location of their target after they have seen the target. However, in [[Generation IV]], the [[Pokétch]]'s {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} application and the [[Pokégear]]'s map card serve this purpose, relieving the player from having to change through a multitude of screens, as was the case in past generations.
