Morpeko [PARen] 121/182 Ability buggy

I have a Palafin switch deck I've been playing lately and I have came across this issue multiple times. I normally use him along side Pecharunt EX ability. When switching this way it seems to work fine. I mostly come across this bug by retreat cost. One example will be I start the turn with Finizen; evolve in Palafin; retreat for 1 energy into Morpeko who doesn't have any energy attached. Use Zero to Hero to get our Palafin EX from deck. I go to retreat Morpeko and it won't give me the option to. I also have a Lumineon V on bench. so it couldn't been that I was going into the same pokemon, which dont think that would be an issue. It has cost me multiple games. I believe it's a bug and can't find out why it wont let me retreat.

    You can only manually retreat once per turn, if you already manually retreated for one energy to into Morpeko you can't manually retreat again in that turn… you would have to use a switch or some similar card to move the Morpeko back again to the bench promoting the Palafin ex.
