But that is where the problem is. How can a level 23 Noctowl have a higher speed than a level 40 Raikou? My question is if a wild Pokemon chooses to flee, do you attack first.
Someone should test this is out because i'm sure that even a +speed 31 iv Noctowl at level 23 shouldn't be able to outspeed a Raikou at level 40 unless it had a -speed 0 speed iv. I would calculate this but I don't have the time.
