Ancient Booster Energy Capsule not recovering special conditions

I had a confused Roaring Moon as my Active Pokemon (caused by Munkidori's attack). I attached an Ancient Booster Energy Capsule to the Roaring Moon, according to the text, it should recover from all Special Conditions. But the Roaring Moon is still confused, and got damaged when it attack. I'm pretty sure that there are no other effects exsiting by that occasion, so it seems like a bug.
