Why couldn’t I use item cards?

Options

I was playing against a Spidops Stax deck and I could’ve had a chance of winning, except that I was wholly unable to play item cards. Is there a card that was preventing me from doing so that I just didn’t see? Or some rule I’m forgetting? I’m assuming it was a bug because it seems completely broken to prevent a player from using item cards. Stadium and Supporter cards were still working fine. The items I couldn’t use specifically were Pokemon catcher, dark patch, and switch cart. I had dark energy in my discard pile and my active pokemon was Roaring Moon ex, which is a basic pokemon as far as I’m aware.

    Presumably your opponent attacked with Venomoth from 151/MEW and that stopped you from playing items
