I've seriously never understood the safari zone

Throw a pokeball, they break out and run

throw bait, they run

throw a rock, they run

they just run

I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible because I would hate to run into a shiny here

but I wanted to complete the warden's side quest

The theory/mechanic is Rock = More likely to run, but increased catch rate if they don't. Bait = less likely to run, but reduced catch rate.

The actual practice is pretty much as Panthera described it though (With the end result basically being "just throw balls immediately and pray, don't bother with anything else")
