I was wondering as it came up in a game I was playing at home the other day whether Dusknoir would still be able to use ectoplasm if it was effected by Ampharos's Damage Bind. Normally I would think it wouldn't however if I used ectoplasm at the end of my turn then during my opponent's turn they brought Ampharos into play and knocked my Dusknoir out would it become a stadium as ectoplasm was used before Damage bind.
 
If the Pokemon has damage counters on it, Ampharos blocks its Poke-Power. Ectoplasm cannot be used if it gets knocked out by damage or damage counters.~Mark
 
Ectoplasm is activated at the moment Dusknoir is damaged and KO'd by an opponent's attack. However, Damage Bind prevents use of all Poke-Powers of Pokemon with damage counters on them, so Ectoplasm can't be used with Ampharos PL in play.
