Mabosstiff what have I missed?

I'm a new player and thought I had a game wrapped up but I must have missed something which I can't see.

Mabosstiff was able to use Boss Headbutt twice at the end of this game and I thought that they couldn't do that based on the card text.

I must have missed something but I'm unsure as to what it is. Any helps would be greatly appreciated!

    I can't see it in the logs, or I can understand it from the logs rather... but was the Pokémon swapped to the bench at some point?

    If that's the case, it resets the "this pokemon can't use..." clause. And allows a second attack.

    Ahhhh, ok thank you. That's quite a strange rule, the wording in the card makes it sound like the switch out wouldn't matter, noted and learnt.

    Thanks for your help, appreciate it
