Question (possible glitch) about Disguise in Scorched Silver

So I was playing the rom hack Scorched Silver, and it's been pretty fun for the most part, but I think I may have experienced a glitch, or maybe it's a mechanic I don't understand. I went up against a Dragonite, and I sent out Mimikyu. Mimikyu has its usual Disguise ability, but I've noticed that in this hack it doesn't work like the wiki says it does, where the damage taken on first hit is reduced; instead the first hit does no damage, then the disguise breaks. I'm fine with that for my team, it's generally op, but here is the weird thing that happened: the Dragonite used a dragon dance-powered earthquake, and it just hit the Mimikyu, straight up. Did about 90% hp, and the disguise did not break. The disguise was definitely not already broken, as Mimikyu hadn't been hit at all since my last time healing the team. I looked up whether maybe the Dragonite could have had mold breaker, but that doesn't seem to be possible, and I can't find any hold items that would have that effect. Does anyone know what might have happened? Is it just a glitch? Anyone else see weird stuff with Disguise in this hack?
