How to Escape From Battle

Select Run in Battle Options

Pokemon BDSP Escape Run Away

During battle, simply select the Run option to run away. It's the blue button at the bottom right of the screen, underneath Battle, Pokemon, and Bag. You can only run away from wild encounters with Pokemon. You can't run away from trainer battles.

Speed Affects Escape Success

Pokemon BDSP Can

It becomes harder to run away from wild Pokemon that have a higher Speed stat than the Pokemon you have engaged in battle. In that case, you can switch to a Pokemon with a higher Speed or use an item that will allow you to trigger an escape.
