Well all Pokemon spawn in place for everyone to catch for 15 minutes, once you get into the fight the Pokemon is removed from the map in 1 of 2 ways, either you catch it and it dissappears or else it runs away from the fight and it is removed. If you choose to escape from the fight the Pokemon remains on the map to allow you leave combat and catch some better Pokeballs or Raspberrys fast to catch him.

Hey, thanks for the info! I didn't know that. Still, pretty annoying. Pokémon vanishing when you're trying to capture them is probably the feature I hate the most because it feels so unfair. You don't even have a chance, there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening! I'd be OK (although I wouldn't like it) with it if I could still find the pokémon, but I can't and that sucks.

For Pikachu since he is a starter Pokemon you can find them inside in the 2km eggs too, so if you want to focus on burning through all the 2k ones you find in your infinite incubator you should find a Pikachu eventually (just never ever put a 2k egg into a breakable incubator, literally waste of money, if you have 3x 2k eggs done in a 3use incubator you get 6km out of it in total, 3x5 or 10k eggs gets you 15k or 30k worth of walking out of them)
