Does Zoroark's illusion always match the same type as Pokemon that can change types using held items?

Question

Basically, I'm asking about Pokemon that change type with held items. Genesect can appear as Douse, and Zoroark appears as Genesect Burn. Does this happen with Pokemon like Arceus and Silvally? Example: if an Arceus is holding the plate that makes it a Dark type, can Zoroark appear as a Grass type Arceus?

I had Arceus-Bug and whenever I sent Zoroark out, it was still Arceus-Bug in the replay. I also did this a second time, still Arceus-Bug. So, the answer is it probably has a small chance of occurring, or you just mixed up Douse and Burn.

Hope this helps!

I highly doubt it was a coincidence that Zoroark disguised as both Electric Arceus and Fighting Silvally.

Hope this helps! :)
