Astral Radiance Mightyena Dealing Double Damage?

I had a Shadow Rider Calyrex V-max in my active spot, at full health (320hp), and my opponent had the Mightyena from Astral Radiance in the active spot. Its Wild Tackle attack only has a base damage of 160, but twice in the same match it actually dealt a full 320 damage instead. My opponent hadn't played any cards that would boost the damage, but they had put the Mightyena into play using the Evolving Skies Zoroark.

    Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX has a weakness to Darkness. Look at the bottom of the card. Weakness = 2x damage, just like in the games.

    shadow rider Vmax has dark type weakness. Weakness doubles the damage, so 160 x 2 = 320 = knockout. If they had super effective glasses (from astral radiance) it would do a whopping 480 damage.

    Shadow rider Calyrex is weak to darkness type pokemon, like mightyena.

    If a pokemon is the same type as the opponent weakness, it deals double damage.
