Lumineon - Thorton Bug

Alas i don't have a screen shot. But i was playing a Whiscash - Blastoise Mill deck. My Lumineon Card 'acted' as a Whiscash and froze/softlocked the game. How i got the bug:

My bench contained: Rotom-V / Diancie / Blastoise PoGo / Barboach / Manaphy
Active was: Diancie

  1. Opponent killed Diancie → i switched in my second Diancie
  2. I had a Barboach with a lot of energies on my bench.
  3. I used Lumineon with the Ability to draw a Support Card and drew Thorton
  4. Then i used it on Lumineon to get my fainted Diancie onto my bench again.
  5. Next i used Super Rod to get the Lumineon back into the Deck
  6. Ended my turn with Rotoms Ability
  7. On my Opponents turn he killed my active Diancie and i switched in my Barboach
  8. now the Bug starts:
  9. I already had a Whiscash in my hand and i naturally drew the Lumineon. → It stacked onto my Whiscash in my hand
  10. When i played it, it evolved onto Barboach (My whiscash still in hand, Lumineon on Active position)
  11. The active Lumineon showed the 140 HP from Whiscash, the Fighting Type and the Attacks of Whiscash.
  12. Then i curiously played an Ultra Ball to check my Deck. That's when the game Froze/Softlocked.

After restarting the game i think neither of us lost nor won the game since i still had the same ranking.
