Pinsir TWM Slow Crunch treated as special condition rather than effect [BUG]

During testing, I have seen the Slow Crunch effect of Pinsir TWM get negated for several different reasons, most of which are illegitimate. The main one that is working is the Snorlax from the Lugia VSTAR deck's unfazed fat ability, negating all effects of attacks. What has lead me to believe that it is being treated as a special condition in the code is that evolving and switching to the bench both remove the effect, when it should not be removed. Cards like Professor Turo's Scenario should be one of the only ways to remove this effect effectively.

Speculatory extra problems with this card:

  • Thorton LOR does not keep effect
  • Therapuetic Energy blocks the effect (if it is a special condition in the code)
