Not A Bug Illusion disguised as Terastallized target reveals type icon

[chadebar]

What type of bug are you reporting? Random Battles

What is the bug?
In turn 30, when "Tera-Fairy Giratina" was sent out, the mini icon revealed it was a Zoroark before Illusion got broken

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Maybe? I believe it's a Random Battle specific problem, probably caused by the fact Giratina was Tera - so I think it's possible, but very circunstancial

If you disguise yourself as something that is already Terastallized, it does not copy the terastallization and therefore reveals Zoroark. This is not a bug.

It is a bug that the “Giratina” had a type change condition on it, though. That shouldn’t happen.
