im trying to catch some legendary... but they keep running away!

can you list any below? thanks ~KNYGHT
 
Wobbufett and Gothitelle have Shadow Tag and Dugtrio has Arena Trap, both abilities prevent a Pokemon from switching or running away.

Mean Look is also another way to prevent a Pokemon from running away, Gengar, Umbreon, Dusclops can all learn Mean Look by leveling up.

Trapinch should have one

I think it's called Arena Trap?

Gengar (Shadow Tag) Trapinch (Arena Trap) Dugtrio (Trap)
However, I haven't really seen legendaries run away in Pokemon X/Y. If you are in need of catching one of the legendary birds (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos) You need to keep finding them until they permanently relocate to the Sea Spirit's den. They are hardcoded to run away before permanently relocating, no matter what.
 
Magnet pull prevents steel type to get away I think. Probably won't help you because I don't think there are any steel type legendaries that run away :p
 
Wobufett is the perfect pokemon you need it has shadow tag and can withstand some very high hits.Trapinch has arena trap but he is a little weak and can die easily so I wouldn't recommend him.
 
Crobat with Hypnosis (Egg Move) and Mean Look will help with runners (much faster than Zapdos, the fastest runner). Switch to another Mean Look/Block using Pokemon with False Swipe while they sleep. Sleep and Freeze status are the best for catch rates, but Freeze is risky due to the fact only damaging moves inflict it. Heal Block helps VS Roost.%
