The abilities you mean are calledArena TrapandShadow Tagthough they work differently then you described. The opponent can still escape using Baton Pass and if they are forced out of the battle.
They are calledArena TrapandShadow Tag.
Just as a side note, the Pokemon that is trapped can still use a move like U-Turn or Volt Switch (unless the Pokemon is immune to electric moves, such as Trapinch/ Dugtrio) which returns to trapped Pokemon back to the Pokeball, or use a move such as Dragon Tail, Whirlwind or Roar to force the Arena Trap/ Shadow Tag Pokemon to switch to another.
