Latios is still capable of running away even while a Trapinch with its Arena Trap is in the battle because Latios' ability is Levitate which allows it to avoid the effects of Arena Trap since Levitate Pokémon and Flying-type Pokémon cannot be blocked from escaping via the Arena Trap ability.
well did you have it out in battle? if not it has to be out in battle with latios for arena trap to work. if you did have you trapinch out, then... either arena trap didn't work( witch would be weird) or i don't know. another Pokemon would be wynaut or wabuffet. it has the ability shadow tag and that keeps the Pokemon from escaping. i hope you catch the latios! :) -RR14
I played pokemon ruby years ago and as far as I can tell latios is a roaming pokemon, that means he may be anywhere in the region. Also he can flee from battle and he usually does in the first turn so if you want to catch him i recommend catching a pokemon with 'arena trap' such as Trapinch, this will prevent him from fleeing (I cant remember if Trapinch is in ruby or not) or you'll have to use a master ball or rely on shear luck.
Trapinch. You can catch it in the desert. And if you just want a Pokemon to not flee there is also Wynaut and Wobbuffet.
Trapinch and Diglett/Dugtrio are the ones who have it however keep in mind that the Arena Trap ability does not work against flying-types and Pokémon with the Levitate ability.

"In Pokemon ruby can Pokemon run from trapinch?"Yes and no. Most Pokemon cannot run from trapinch because trapinch has the ability Arena Trap, but flying types are unnaffected by Arena Trap.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you save your Masterball for that Pokemon. Because (Much like Entei/Suicune/Raikou in Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green it is a roaming pokemon thus it will flee from battle on it's turn.) If you wasted your masterball on another pokemon (Dont worry i did it as well. wasted it on Rayquaza in Pokemon Sapphire) you can use a trapinch with the arena trap ability (so latios cannot escape) or if you have a cro/gol/zu bat on your team and it knows mean look use that so it cannot escape.
Areana Trap is Trapinch's ability so check its ability. I think some Trapinch may have another ability (Hyper Cutter I think) so just keep catching Trapinch until you get one with Arena Trap.
Latios is the blue dragon, with white wings Pokemon. Latias (the red one) is his little sister. They're flying and psychic type I think (correct me if I'm wrong) He knows some pretty good moves, but the bad thing is when you think you're gonna catch him and he flees. Have a Trapinch which has a special ability of Arena Trap which doesn't let them escape. Then you can catch him, but use your Poke'dex to track him down and find him. =) x
I think you mean Latias or Latios.. Use a Trapinch because of sand arena. or haunter and use mean look or use sudowoodo and use block when you start so it cant escape then fight it and use an ultra ball. if you are using trapinch, dont evolve it or switch it out.
It can be if you want it to or you can use it on rayquaza, the easiest way to catch latios or latias without using the masterball is by having a Pokemon that has the abilites: Arena Trap, Shadow Tag and having the Pokemon be sent out first then weaken latios/latias then throw many ultra balls.
Well, no new Pokemon have Arena Trap, but The Pokemon Dugtrio does and Wobbafett has Shadow Tag, which is the same. There is one Pokemon I believe that has Arena Trap as a Dream World Ability...not sure though. Hope this helps!
