Below is a log of the battle proving that it does work.

If you think you did it correctly and yet failed, post your log and I'll take a look. You can get logs from the addon Pet Battle Log Keeper or from your Pet Battle Log chat tab.

Pet Battle Log Keeper is abandoned and hasn't been updated since July 2018. There is a link to an updated version in the comments, but that one is for 9.0.2 . Haven't tested it yet but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Pet Battle Log Keeper still works fine, though, and I think all the regular battlers - at least among the chattering classes of battlers :-) - use it.

Maybe someday it will break, and then someone will have to fix it. But not today. :)
