Aegishlash Mysterious Shield Bug

Was just in a match, played Boss's Orders to switch Aegislash to the bench and brought out their Mew EX. Hit it with Regieleki VMax and it was still protected by the Mysterious Shield and it blocked the hit, and cost me the game. Am I missing something or is it just bugged sometimes when a new mon is switched in?

That does sound like a bug since I don't see why mew ex (or EX) would be able to block that hit

From what I know about (regular) Pokémon cards, you can still use abilities from Pokémon on your bench. So if Mysterious Shield is an ability, that makes sense.

Not how it works. That Ability is only supposed to protect the Pokémon that has it.

Ok. I don’t play TCG Live, only the physical cards.

The rules are the same.
