Manaphy ability not working If manaphy in active spot

Here a bug or error in the game. I just play a game today, the radiant greninja was in the opponent active spot. He boss order manaphy and use his attack to take down two of my little bench Pokémon and manaphy ability is not working in the active spot… But in the Real realife game you cant attack bench pokemon when manaphy is on the active spot… Can you repair that error ?

thanks you

    Was a canceling cologne played? You also can view and copy/paste the battle log to see exactly what happened after games now

    Did you notice your opponent playing any other Trainer cards after using Boss’s Orders to bring out Manaphy? There’s a chance your opponent played Canceling Cologne (negates the Ability of your opponent’s Active Pokémon until the end of your turn) after bringing out Manaphy and that would cause Wave Veil to not protect your Benched Pokémon.

    Oh, and this is a reminder that we have a fancy new Battle Log feature that can easily remind you of any played cards you may have missed for any reason you may have.

    They probably used Cancelling Cologne, it's commonly run in Chien-Pao ex

    I believe that there are other cards that could be used to shut down the active's ability, though Canceling Cologne is probably the card that was played.
