Not A Bug DLC Paradox Pokémon can lose their Booster Energy

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Knock off should not be able to remove an unused booster energy from a paradox mon (Raging Bolt) that
was unused due to sun being out already

Knock Off cannot remove a Z-Crystal from any Pokémon, a Mega Stone or Orb if the target could use it to Mega Evolve or undergo Primal Reversion, a memory if the target is Silvally, a Rusted Sword from Zacian, a Rusted Shield from Zamazenta, any of the Hearthflame, Wellspring, or Cornerstone Masks from Ogerpon, or a Booster Energy from any Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon), even if it hasn't consumed the item because its Ability triggered from the appropriate weather or terrain condition instead.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Same scenario was tested 3 times total in national dex draft as well as national dex ubers

tried it with other DLC paradox mons and they all lose booster energy where walking wake doesnt

This is the expected buggy behavior.

The four DLC Paradox Pokémon didn't receive the Paradox flag for some reason (likely an oversight), which allows them to lose their Booster Energy. This is the only known interaction affected by the missing flag.

I'm going to retest it just to make sure it hasn't been patched.

Edit: Raging Bolt can still lose its Booster Energy.
