Cobblemon - Fight or Flight
With Cobblemon - Fight or Flight installed, wild and owned Pokémon can run away or strike back when the player attacks them or fails a catch.
What it does
Each Pokémon chooses between fleeing and fighting based on how its offensive stats compare with its defensive stats, along with its level and nature. Particularly aggressive Pokémon do not wait to be attacked and will engage any player who comes too close.
When a Pokémon hits the player, its type determines the effect applied. Fire types set the player alight, Ice types apply freezing, and Poison types poison. Psychic types apply levitation, while Fairy, Fighting and Steel types apply weakness. Ground and Rock types apply mining fatigue, Ghost and Dark types apply darkness, and Electric and Water types apply slowness. Bug types cause hunger, Grass types grant regeneration on hit, Flying types deal extra knockback, and Dragon types deal extra damage.
The addon requires Cobblemon and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across three game versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.2, and the code is under the MIT License and open source.
Key features

Each Pokémon weighs its offensive and defensive stats, level and nature before deciding whether to run or fight back.

Use cases
Hunting a dangerous encounter
A player who attacks a wild Pokémon may meet a counterattack that depends on its type, so fights carry more risk.
Catch attempts that fail
A failed capture can make the Pokémon flee or retaliate, which changes how players approach catching.
Who it’s for: Players of Cobblemon who want wild and owned Pokémon to react to attacks and failed catches, and server owners who want more varied combat.
How it compares
Cobblemon Synchronized Natures is a server-side only addon for Fabric on 1.19.2, under the MIT License and open source, so it is installed on the server alone. Cobblemon - Yet Another Chance Booster is server-side only, for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1, and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Fight or Flight, by contrast, needs both sides and covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.2.

What the author says
An addon for Cobblemon that makes pokemon either fight back, or run away when attacked by the player, or in response to a failed attempt to catch them. Whether or not they flee or fight depends on each pokemon's offensive stats compared to their defensive stats, their level as well as each pokemon's nature.
