Metronome using Swinging Sphene
Hi, During a game earlier, I used my Clefable's Metronome ability and chose Swinging Sphene from my opponent's Alolan Exeggutor ex. The coin flip was a heads. But for some reason this didn't knock my opponent's pokémon out. Considering it was in the active spot, I don't fully understand whether this is a bug or a strange ruling.
I will enclose the battle log in case anyone wants clarification.
Any help is gratefully appreciated!

It was turn 3, I flipped a heads. Realised afterwards that I misread that card, lol. Thanks for the response anyway.
