Showdown Arceus Glitch?

In the link above, sometime in that battle, it did not say that e-quake was super effective on Arceus Electric. Then latter, shadow ball had no effect on Ghost Arceus! Plus, When the Slaking used facade, it hit Ghost Arceus! Is this a glitch or not?

When teambuilding you can select Arceus as “Arceus-Electric” or “Arceus-Ghost” etc. without putting on the plate. However, using this in a Balanced Hackmon battle means that Arceus will be counted as a Normal type Pokemon if it doesn’t hold the correct plate. That’s why your Ghost moves didn’t work and your other moves weren’t super effective. It wasn’t a glitch at all.
Here’s a demonstration:Arceus-Electric with no itemArceus-Electric holding Zap Plate
