A Pokémon with this Ability can always [[escape|flee]] and use {{m|Teleport}} successfully, regardless of {{cat|trapping moves}} and {{cat|Trapping Abilities|Abilities}} (including {{m|Ingrain}} and {{cat|binding moves}}). This Ability has no effect on [[recall|switching out]]. Run Away does not guarantee escape in the [[Battle Pyramid]], but if a Pokémon with this Ability successfully flees, this escape will be credited to Run Away.

If the {{p|Nihilego}} encountered at [[Aether Paradise]] has its ability changed to Run Away, it will be able to flee on turn 5 of the battle even if it is trapped. If this happens, the text stating "You got away safely!" will still display, despite Nihilego being the one fleeing and not the player.
