→‎Platinum: Better to just use a general term than try to list them all
(Corrected an error in specifics of the Arena Trap glitch. Added it works with Magnet Pull and Shadow Tag. Note apparent unavailability without Rage glitch. Added a video.)

===Arena Trap/Magnet Pull/Shadow Tag flee glitch===
If the player is in a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Double Battle]] (which, at the time, was only possible when travelling with one of the [[Stat Trainers]]) and the left side wild Pokémon has or gains {{a|Arena Trap}} or {{a|Shadow Tag}}, attempting to flee will bring up the message that the user cannot flee from the right side wild Pokémon rather than the left side wild Pokémon.
This occurs even if the right side wild Pokémon was knocked out, resulting in the message "The wild [[Bad Egg]] prevents escape with Arena Trap!" or "The wild [[Bad Egg]] prevents escape with Shadow Tag!" The glitch occurs with {{a|Magnet Pull}} as well, but the user's active Pokémon must be a Steel-type for the message to appear, as expected.
While this glitch is a bug in the game's code, there is no known normal way to activate it without a hacked Pokémon or a Pokémon with a trapping ability with {{m|Skill Swap}} via the Mimic Transform Rage variation of the [[Rage glitch]].

===Trapping Ability flee glitch===
If the player is in a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Double Battle]] (which, at the time, was only possible when traveling with one of the [[Stat Trainers]]) and the left-side wild Pokémon has {{a|Arena Trap}} or {{a|Shadow Tag}}, attempting to flee will bring up the message that the user cannot flee from the right side wild Pokémon rather than the left side wild Pokémon. This also applies if the left-side wild Pokémon has {{a|Magnet Pull}} if the player's active Pokémon is {{type|Steel}}.
This occurs even if the right side wild Pokémon was knocked out, resulting in the message "The wild [[Bad Egg]] prevents escape with Arena Trap!" etc.
While this glitch is a bug in the game's code, there is no known normal way to activate it without using another glitch to create a Pokémon with both a trapping Ability and {{m|Skill Swap}}, such as the Mimic Transform Rage variation of the [[Rage glitch]].
