This replay shows really nothing but IF you are playing without animations you see the first ursaluna without image and you know easy that is zoroark-hisui.
You should see 2 ursalunas and no.... an invisible mon and ursaluna.

Note that if you are enough expert you always know that the first pokemon that enters in battle in battle is zoroark because is zoroark is the second mon, the hability illusion don't work. So....the change don't made zoroark better.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
You can challenge other person (2vs2) with that sample team with animations and without animations. Send zoroark first and then other mon.

This is a client bug only. Of course, as you said, the player can tell the Pokemon led is one with Illusion in a Team Preview format like 2v2.

What type of bug are you reporting? Client

What is the bug?
With animations disabled, client doesn't draw the second Pokémon in a double battle, at least if it's Zoroark-Hisui.

I first noticed this in a Challenge Cup 2v2 match, but I was able to replicate it and take screenshots.

Here's how it looks with animations disabled:

Here's how it looks with animations enabled:

I tried this with two different (Chromium-based) browsers and also with another Pokémon Showdown user, who reported that "the zorark became ?" after fainting.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?

1. Disable animations
2. Challenge yourself, someone, or whatever to a 2v2 Doubles match.
3. Use a team with Zoroark-Hisui and Calyrex as the last Pokémon of the team
4. Select Zoroark-Hisui first, and then Calyrex
5. See what happens, and how it's different from when animations are enabled
