Updated Answer as of Gen 9:

Note: Pokemon holding the item Shed Shell are immune to the effect of trapping moves and abilities. Ghost-types starting in Gen 6 are immune to the effects of trapping moves and abilities.

These are the moves that make a Pokemon take chip damage from the binding move. These are the following binding moves:

These moves that trap Pokemon don’t deal the chip damage like the binding moves do:

These Abilities trap Pokemon if they aren’t immune to it:

Arena Trap: Traps grounded Pokemon. Flying-types, Ghost-types (Gen 6 onwards), Pokemon with the Ability Levitate, Pokemon holding Air Balloon, and Pokemon affected by Magnet Rise or Telekinesis don’t get affected by Arena Trap.

Magnet Pull: Traps Steel-types that aren’t a Ghost type as well (Gen 6 onwards).

Shadow Tag: Traps all Pokemon as long as they aren’t a Ghost-type (Gen 6 onwards) or have the Ability Shadow Tag. (Gen 4 onwards)

Pokemon who have the AbilitySuction Cupscan’t be forced to switch out or flee.

These are the abilites which prevent exit from battle,but some conditions have to be met before they can activate.They are:If the opponent is of the Steel-type, Pokémon with the Magnet Pull ability prevent them from exiting battleIf the opponent isn’t of the Flying-type or doesn’t have the Levitate ability, Pokémon with the Arena Trap ability prevent them from exiting battleIf the opponent doesn’t also have this ability and isn’t a Ghost-type, Pokémon with the Shadow Tag ability prevent all opposing Pokémon from exiting battleIf the Pokémon has the Suction Cups ability, the Pokémon cannot be forced from battle
