Certain Pokemon can learn moves that prevent the target from fleeing or switching out of battle. However, for example, if a Pokemon in your party uses Mean Look on Suicune and then switches out, Mean Look is deactivated and Suicune may flee again.

Moves that can prevent Pokemon from fleeing:

-Mean Look

-Block

-Wrap, Fire Spin, etc. * these do cause damage, so be careful if you intend to catch the target, as it could possibly faint

(Note: If the Pokemon in your party with one of the above moves also knows Baton Pass, it may use Baton Pass to switch out while maintaining Mean Look's effect! Not many Pokemon can lean this combination however, one example is Eevee/Umbreon: Eevee learns Baton Pass at level 34 and its evolution Umbreon learns Mean Look at 57)

Abilities that can prevent Pokemon from fleeing:

-Magnet Pull (Only works on Steel-type Pokemon)

-Shadow Tag (Only known by Wynaut and Wobbuffet)

-Arena Trap (useless against Flying-type and Pokemon with Levitate)

Additionally, non-volatile status ailments such as Sleep, Freeze, or Paralysis may work.
