Does arena trap work in the safary?

Question

I was wondering if I could trap chanseys so I can capture them more often since I am hunting for a lucky egg

I don't think it would work in the "battle" because you can't use any of your Pokemon. It wouldn't work out of battle either, because arena trap's out of battle effect was added in Emerald.
