Seaking doesnt work properly when opponent also has coin flips

So I was trying to play seaking, the one where you flip 3 coins, for each heads, discard an energy from the active pokemon. Well my opponent had the snorlax that needs to flip two coins to wake up. I flipped three coins, and got one heads. But instead of being able to discard an energy, the game freaks out and my opponent just flips only one coin, automatically says he got two tails, and it was his turn. I DIDNT EVEN GET TO DISCARD ENERGIES! I don't know if this is a bug with the card, or the coin flip mechanic in general but this needs to be looked into.

    Unfazed fat: Prevent all effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokémon done to this Pokémon. 

    Discarding energies with seaking is an effect of an attack.

    So I can confirm OP's issue is authentic and needs to be looked into. I'm currently playing a Sword and Shield Seaking with Ripping Horn against the AI who is using a Decidueye-and-Inteleon deck.

    Yes, there is a Snorlax in the AI's deck, but it isn't the version with 'Unfazed Fat'. Both of our decks have a Snorlax and it's the the Vivid Voltage version with 'Gormandize', which is a card draw ability depending on the card count in your hand.

    The issue is that regardless of the # of heads present, no energies are removed from the opponent's Active Pokemon. This is a pretty serious card bug. Now I know why I don't see this card more often on LIVE.

    This is my second card fail on this platform. First card fail was Cobalion with Follow-Up energy-attach attack and while I was very disappointed I couldn't play the card, I substituted it with AgT Smeargle and was able to make do while the card was being fixed. Cobalion works fine now, but I have discovered a problem with Sword and Shield Seaking. That's OKAY, btw. I just need to know that these bugs are documented and are being looked into. I wonder if I have to start my own thread in order for my problem to get properly acknowledged by the developer team, but in the meantime, I thought I would put my response in this thread in case someone else finds this in a forum search and need to have more data points.
