Jynx ex vs Mimikyu Safeguard Bug?

Hello, so Mimikyu's Safeguard ability prevents it from taking damage from ex and V, but it does not say that it prevents it from effects. I put the Mimikyu to sleep via Hypno Here for Hypnosis ability, and then went to use Jynx ex Heart-Stopping Kiss ability, which is "If your opponent's Pokemon is asleep, it is Knocked Out", but it did nothing. To my understanding, that is an effect of an attack, and is not to be perceived as damage similar to Giratina VStar or Roaring Moons Knock Out effect attacks.

If I am not mistaken, this should have knocked out the Mimikyu.

    Did they have enamorus v or toedscruel ex in play? Either of these could prevent the effect if the mimikyu had an energy attached. Alternatively, if the mimikyu had a mist energy attached, that would also prevent attack effects on it.

    This would've been a great time to post a log! There's too many variables to know
