Shadow Tag (Japanese: かげふみ Stepping on Shadows) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Eight Pokémon can have this Ability.
Effect
In battle
Shadow Tag prevents the foe from switching out or fleeing. In a wild battle against a Pokémon with Shadow Tag, the Trainer is unable to run away. Run Away negates its effect, but only in a wild battle. Similarly, as of Generation IV, if two Pokémon with Shadow Tag face one another, both may switch out at any time.
The Shed Shell, a held item, allows a Pokémon to switch out when facing a Pokémon with Shadow Tag.
In a double battle, Shadow Tag does not affect the partner Pokémon.
Outside of battle
Shadow Tag has no effect outside of battle.
