Bug: Electric Cord failed to activate when knocked out by Arceus EX

After my active Pokémon (Magnezone) with the Electric Cord Pokémon Tool attached was knocked out by Arceus EX, for some reason Electric Cord's effect failed to activate, and the prompt to attach energy to my Benched Pokémon never appeared.
On the Bench I had 1 Oricorio and 1 Galvantula (Eevee Grove), as well as energy on Magnezone, so the conditions for Electric Cord to activate were there.
When trying to reproduce the bug in a solo battle, Electric Cord did activate when Galvantula (Mythical Island) was knocked out by Arceus EX.
