This question and the answer’s source doesn’t have formulas for beyond Gen 4. Does anyone know these formulas? Also, make sure to include the formula for Gen 5 double battles if it’s any different.

thought it was if your lead was faster?
Yeah that's what it is
If your Pokemon is slower, you will sometimes escape but other times you won't. There's definitely more to it than that.

Serebii says that the formula is Probability = (((UserSpeed * 32)/ (OpponentSpeed / 4))+ 30 * AttemptNumber) / 256
I'd assume that it's for Generation 6, as that's what all of the screenshots on the pages seem to be from.
