Sleep Talk Error?

[insomniac]

Hi I just had a match on the Smogon University server. In the match my opponent brought out Breloom to my Swampert. I switched to my Choice Scarfed Heracross and absorbed the Spore. Then I used Sleep Talk like I normally do, because a Guts Close Combat or Megahorn is a OHKO, and that's what happened. Then my opponent brought out his Raikou and for the next three turns my Sleep Talk failed while Heracross was asleep(after the 3rd turn he just OHKO'd it with Thunderbolt). So is this some sort of an error or is it my misunderstanding?

This is actually how it works ingame, a choiced sleep talk will only work the first time and fail every time after that, this stops people using sleep talk as a loophole around choice items.

Ah I see. I apologize for my misunderstanding then.
