Arena Trap

Arena Trap prevents opponents from fleeing or switching out. Raised Pokémon are not affected.

Raised Pokémon are any Flying types or those under the effects of Levitate, Magnet Rise or Telekinesis. Full details in glossary.

If a Pokémon with Arena Trap is the leading party Pokémon, wild Pokémon are twice as likely to appear.
