Why did Plasma Fists not get disabled?

Jan. 28, 2022

This happened on the second turn of a match and it said this:

Zeraora used Plasma Fists!(The opposing Dusknoir lost 38% of its health!)A deluge of ions showers the battlefield!(Normal-type moves become Electric-type after using Plasma Fists.)

The opposing Dusknoir used Disable![Zeraora’s Volt Absorb]It doesn’t affect Zeraora…

Why did it not get disabled and what effect does Volt Absorb has on it?

Normal-type moves become Electric-type after using Plasma Fists

You literally have the answer in the question. Plasma Fists changes Normal-type moves into Electric-type including status moves like Disable, causing Volt Absorb to activate.

Plasma Fists inflicts damage. In the remainder of the current turn, all Normal-type moves will become Electric-type, including status moves.
