[Battle] Help with flags

[ihatethis324?!]

So I created a mew event in frlg without any flags and I defeat it it stays so I created a new event and put a flag to make it leave after defeat and it's just not there and I remove the flag and it's there but i want to make it leave.
Pls help me I'm confused.
Thx in advance.

This is just what I've observed, but flags determine if a sprite loads. Setting a flag without doing anything else won't make an already present sprite disappear, so you need to either use hidesprite or re-enter the map after the encounter is over and the flag is set.

Should be noted that hidesprite simply unloads it - not setting the flag could just have it reappear whenever the map updates.
