Bugged or intended?

Seems like Bubbly water energy is blocking alakazam's powerful hand

I have not tested on other effects of attacks to verify if this is an issue with the energy or an issue with powerful hand

Bubbly Water Energy doesn't block Alakazam's Powerful Hand attack.

You likely missed something else on the board that prevents damage counters from being placed, like Mist Energy or some Pokemon ability… do you have the game logs?
