Does a Pokemon run away if it despawned for everyone else?
If you tap on a Pokemon and then it despawns for everyone then you throw a Pokeball at it and it happens to break out, and then runs away; does it run because it despawned for everyone or just a coincidence? This has happened to me a few times and id like to know if this is the reason. Can someone please test this? Or is that asking too much?
The only way to test this is to have a friend with you and use pokevision.com which will tell you when they despawn. Find a Pokemon that is close to despawning and wait until the last 10 seconds or whatever before one of you tap it and the other sees it despawn, then throw a bad throw on it and if it breaks out and runs away you will know that this theory is correct.

I have tested this on numerous high-level Pokemon, since nobody cares about a mid-200's Pidgey.
With Pokevision up, I clicked on a Pokemon and then waited until it "despawned" from Pokevision. I then proceeded to throw standard Pokeballs. After breaking free, the Pokemon did not run away.

What causes Pokemon to run away?
Wild Pok\xe9mon escaping is a key aspect of capturing in Pok\xe9mon GO. Whenever the wild Pok\xe9mon breaks out of a thrown Pok\xe9 Ball, there is a chance that it will run away, ending the encounter. Every species has a its own base flee rate, a flat probability of fleeing after breaking out of a Pok\xe9 Ball.Will a fled Pokemon come back?
Escaped Pokemon can Respawn Over Time If you fail to capture a certain Pokemon, it will reappear after a certain period of time. You can go to a different area for a while, then return once time has passed. If you fail to capture a rare Pokemon, it's a good idea to wait for it to reappear over time!How long does a Pokemon Despawn?
Once a Pokemon spawns in an area, they do not move in that area until they despawn. So generally they will be in the same spot for 15 minutes.What does it say when a Pokemon runs away?
