Mechanics "might be trapped" message shouldn't apply in some scenarios

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
The "might be trapped" message will appear if a transformed Pokemon is in against a Pokemon that could potentially have a trapping ability, even if the transformed Pokemon is transformed into a Ghost-type or is holding a Shed Shell, and thus could not be trapped. In the case of Magnet Pull, the "might be trapped" message will still appear even if the Pokemon is not transformed into a Steel-type.

While this is a pretty minor bug, it could potentially lead to an info leak in Pure Hackmons formats, as the "might be trapped" message only appears when a Pokemon is actually trapped in said format. This can lead to a situation where a player with a Pokemon transformed into a Ghost-type would receive the trapped message and know that the opponent has a trapping ability when they would have no way otherwise of knowing what ability the opponent has.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Create a similar setup to the screenshots posted above, with a Pokemon either transformed into a Ghost-type or transformed and holding a Shed Shell and a Pokemon that can potentially have a trapping ability.
