Shadow tag DIDN’T work on teleport??

Jun. 23, 2019

So I was radar chaining for a Kirlia in Pokémon platinum and I got to a chain of 40, kept trying for the shiny patch, and finally got it after an unusually long time. I had a Wobuffet (lvl. 25) with shadow tag in the front of my team to keep Kirlia from escaping. I kept chucking great balls at it and no more then 5 turns later it used teleport and fled. I’m EXTREMELY confused to why this happened. I searched for answers but I can’t find anything. I’m thinking this was a glitch which is pretty upsetting.Fortunately it was a female and I was seeking a male but it still hurts to know I lost a shiny to a game error. My question being, do you think this is a game error? Has some thing similar happened to anyone else? I’m kinda upset and would like to know if I just got some extremely bad luck out of nowhere. Thanks.

The Kirlia had trace, since it traced shadow tag, it could then flee using teleport, or if it didn’t have trace, then it’s just a glitch.
