    In Generation II, wild Pokemon had a chance of fleeing in battle. Pokemon such as Phanphy and Teddiursa are programmed to have a flee rate of 50% upon encountering them. This can also happen in Let's Go, and in the safari zone, but I'm talking about the generation II version of this.

    Did a wild Pokemon ever flee from you in your Generation II experience?
     
    Was this only in Crystal? I played Silver through the virtual console and don't remember it happening at all.

    I don't like it. It's not something I want to see return, especially because of the small chance of finding a shiny Pokemon and having it flee.
     
    This was a thing? I truly don't remember a Pokemon ever fleeing in that gen so I guess it never happened to me.
     
    I didn't even know this mechanic existed. I've never had a wild Pokémon flee from me in the Gen 2 games. I guess I'm lucky?
     
    I get the feeling that it must be a pretty low chance for most Pokemon to flee (aside from the select few programmed to flee often) and that's why people aren't aware it's a thing. I don't really remember it happening to me either.

    The Fast Ball is meant to be better at catching pokemon in this list, but due to a bug, it only works on the first pokemon of each list and some of these can't even be found in the wild ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
