Not A Bug Imprison in Free-For-All

[InkyDarkBird]

What type of bug are you reporting? Random Battles

What is the bug?
In Free-For-All Random Battles, whenever a Pokemon uses Imprison, all opposing Pokemon receive the "You might be locked into a move. Try Fight button (prevents switching if you're locked)", even if the Pokemon isn't Choice-locked nor shares any moves with the Imprisoning Pokemon.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Make an FFA Randbats game and make sure one of the Pokemon has Imprison. Use Imprison and look at the results.

That's the expected behavior because you don't know which moves are imprisoned. The Test Fight button appears because, if all moves are imprisoned and you click Test Fight or select a move, you will Struggle and won't be able to cancel. It's basically a warning. Is this an incredibly well-designed solution? Meh. Is this a way to support the cancel button in PS without revealing hidden information? Yes.

The text there is for Gen 1 Partial Trapping. Originally, that was the only case where Test Fight was used, but recently we updated it so Imprisoned Pokémon would use it too. I'll suggest a better message.

Edit: I suggested All your moves might be imprisoned <Test Fight button> (prevents cancelling if you Struggle)
