Bug or am I misunderstanding a mechanic?

In two separate games now, I have come across the issue of Monkidori not being able to use their ability Adrena-brain due to incorrect energy attachment... But it is the correct energy?

I will attach a dark type energy as stated by the card ability but it makes it as psychic and does not trigger the ability to be able to be used. Attaching a second dark energy does not fix the issue nor does bouncing the card into the active spot.

Sorry for any formatting issues, I am on mobile.

    "but it makes it as psychic" do you mean visually? and you're sure your Pokemon had damage counters on them? also like Pika said… what else was in play?
