Shadow Tag (Japanese: かげふみ Stepping on Shadows) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only two Pokémon have this ability, both in the same evolutionary line.

Effect

In batttle

Shadow Tag prevents the foe from switching out. In a wild battle against a Pokémon with Shadow Tag, the trainer becomes unable to run away. Run Away negates its effect. Similarly, as of Generation IV, if two Pokémon with Shadow Tag face one another, both may switch out at any time.

Outside of battle

Shadow Tag has no effect outside of battle.
