Can you rebattle legendary Pokémon in white 2 after running from them?

Question

I was trying to catch Azelf and I ran out of ultra balls so I ran from it, I’m wondering what I need to do to re encounter it. I got the message “Azelf flew off somewhere...” after the battle.

Comments

You can definitely find it again if you defeat the champion. You might be able to find it again just by leaving and re-entering wherever you found the Azelf.

Thank you all so much. I knew that feature was in the Pokémon games but I didn’t know what generation it was implemented in.

Answer 1

Yes. Ever since Platinum, you have been able to respawn them by re-battling the elite 4.
