Why is Skuntank V doing 10 damage only?

Skuntank Vs attack Pursuit Blast should do 30 damage to benched Pokémon and 120 damage in case the Pokémon has returned to the bench in the last turn, but in TCG Live it does 10 damage to one benched Pokémon only. If the opponent’s Pokémon has retreated in the last turn, it‘s no difference. Why is this?

    Did you had Double Turbo Energy attached to your Pokémon? It reduces the atack by 20.

    Also, the 120 damage it's only applied if the opponent "manual" retreated from the active spot (it's not the same as switch). So if they used a card like Switch, Switch Cart, Primal Catcher, etc. you will only do 30 damage (with DTE even less... only 10 damage).

    I get it, so the opponent used a card to retreat. That’s sad, so Skuntank isn‘t that useful, it seems. I am using the German Version and the translation sometimes is not so accurate, I guess. Thank you for your help!
