There are different tiers of expertise in archaeology. The tier depends on the discoveries you have made. You get "discovery points" by smashing the rocks inside each site. With every tier you get access to other pokemons/items. You can verify your tier from Gingery Jones in Glacial Site.

If you encounter a spawn you're not "expert" enough to get, the pokémon will flee or the item gets destroyed. If u are in range of the neccessary number of discoveries there is a chance that a pokemon wont flee (i found 3 shroomish with around 1k discoveries on my secondary account. The first and third fled but i was able to catch the second one)

 

It looks like pick axe has a higher chance to prevent the pokemon from fleeing if u have less than the normally neccessary discoveries.

The shiny rock doesn't required MS.

I have pick axe and countless discovery points and keep doing excavation without MS since the rework.

No pokemon fled and no item destroyed from the shiny rock.
