Not A Bug Bug Report - Random Battles

What type of bug are you reporting? Random Battles

What is the bug?
Very complex and weird bug while playing Hackmons Cup.
A mix of Libero, Transform, and the ghost effect for Curse, caused a pokemon to inflict itself with curse instead of the correct target.
More details in how to replicate it.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I had a Libero Dudunsparce with the moves Curse, Vise Grip, Fire Punch and Power Trip, i turned into a fire type due to Libero.
My opponent was a Chi-Yu with the moves Cut, Sleep Powder, Transform and an unknown 4th move. He turned into my fire type Dudunsparce with Transform.
Chi-yu (now Dudunsparce) uses Curse, becomes a ghost type due to Libero, and loses 50% of its health because of the Ghost effect of curse.
Instead of giving my Dudunsparce the Curse effect, Chi-yu got the curse effect, but i killed it the same turn.
From then on, my Dudunsparce was not losing 25% each turn as it should have been, and i assume if Chi-yu lived that turn, it would have been losing 25% instead.
I could possibly replicate it myself, and i will attempt to. I have downloaded the replay:

Dudunsparce is sent out at turn 12
Chi-yu is sent out at turn 14
Curse happens at turn 20

I dont know how to delete forums, but apparently this isnt a bug and is intentional. because curse was selected as its non-ghost move, it targets the chi-yu, and when it switches type, it intentionally doesnt switch target
