Arceus EX/ Lucario Bug

I've noticed under certain conditions it seems that Arceus EX will get the "Fighting Coach" buff from Lucario.

In my experience it was from Arceus played as the starting pokemon. Opponent evolved to Lucario on their second turn and had a full bench. All fighting energy. And the Arceus EX had a giant cape. After retreating Arceus back the buff symbol over Arceus went away.

This is an unconfirmed bug as the opponent didn't attack with Arceus instead retreated immediately and put Lucario up to be fainted as it had no energy and no giant cape to withstand Poison Horn + poison dmg
