 * Kalmar's Up and Away functions like Hurricane -- any enemies immune to Hurricane will also be immune to this move. Up and Away has near perfect accuracy against anything not immune to it, however, and thus is not listed in the chart.

 * If the enemy only appears in special battles that cannot yield coins or items (such as bosses), or it is never present outside of battle, then this category will be listed as "N/A". If the enemy doesn't give items, but still appears in battles that can yield coins, then "None" will be listed.
 * Run: The number of button presses required with to get a guaranteed run from the enemy.
 * If an enemy is asleep, dizzy, paralyzed or immobilized, the player does not need to press and will always flee from them successfully.
 * With multiple enemies on the field, the amount of button presses for a guaranteed flee is the average of all enemies' run rates.
