Haxorus/Regidrago Vstar bug

Hi everyone! I noticed a bug that cost me a game, where I had a legacy energy attached to my Teal Mask Ogerpon, which should turn it into a 1 prize knock out, but my opponent took 2 prizes instead.

Basically, they used Regidrago Vstar's Apex Dragon, and utilized Haxorus in the discard pile, and attacked with "Bring Down the Axe." The attack says, "If your opponent has any special energy, it is knocked out." But it should still be a 1 prize knock out. I figure the bug has something to do with the fact that the attack includes special energy in its description.

I'm kinda new here so I don't see a place to post screenshots, but I also have one where it's recorded in my battle log.

    Legacy Energy only says you give up 1 less prize when knocked out by damage, not effects of attacks.

    Yeah, same deal happens if they knock you out with something that places damage counters, like Dragapult ex's Phantom Dive or Sableye's Lost Mine.
