Transformation works by removing a unit from the map, and replacing it
with the new unit, then carrying over any point changes, items, effects,
etc.
The reason your add/remove skills won't work in this scenario is that
the unit you're adding/removing skills to is then being replaced by a
new unit.
What type of skill are you trying to move onto the new unit? Is it a
skill to turn it back into its original unit? You could use the
revert_transform flag here, I think.

Tried adding an effect that added the skill. It didn't work. Tried "add_random_skills" in the script flags. That didn't work either. I'm giving up on this venture for the moment—I can at least make friendly types the same.

The transformation itself wasn't done via an effect, but I will try and create one specifically to add this skill to the unit. :)
