Prevents the foe from escaping.
Shadow Tag is an ability that prevents opposing Pokémon from escaping or switching out of battle while the Pokémon with this ability is on the field. This can be particularly useful for trapping certain opponents, forcing them to stay in battle and allowing the user to deal damage or set up strategies without fear of the opponent fleeing.
