How did Raikou escape from battle?

Question

I used mean look. 1 second later "The wild RAIKOU fled!" ??? I USED MEAN LOOK.

Answer 1

If the Pokemon you're using is a lev9 Gastly then I'm definately certain that its speed stat is much lower than Raikou's therefore it is able to move first and flee's before gastly can attack.

But he said he used mean look.

---

No... I move always first for some reason

---

Move priority is determined by the Pokemon's speed, it is unbiased of every move in the game.

---

in gen 4, fleeing's priority is 0, same as most of other moves including mean look

---

the Legendary Beasts can escape from Battle.But Non Legendary Pokemon can't.The game is probably glitched

---

He's talking about Raikou, which IS a legendary beast
Also, some wild pokemon DO flee from battle

---

like who ? tell me one.And i'm talking about raikou.Learn to read

---

LM is also talking about raikou, so it is not glitched, you learn how to read

---

I remember that only Luxios in Platinum/D/P had roar and they fled.

I've also experienced it, especially quagsire and delibird

---

is the question about Gold/Crystal or HG and SS ?

---

You never said that non legendaries cant flee "in HGSS"

---

i so did ''But Non Legendary Pokemon can't flee''.learn to read

---

but the pokemon I've listed CAN flee even they're non legendaries
You learn how to read(lol this is fun)

Answer 2

It must be a glitch because roaming Pokemon cannot flee from the battle if mean look has been used on them. So its a glitch.

Is it because my gastly is level 9?
