Ruling attack order

[lpdmaster01]

what comes first

i have a pokemon that is attacking and the attack effect is when this card does damage it goes back to the deck but my opponent has a druggadon

would the attack effect of my pokemon come first or druggadons ablity come first

sorry no scans for this one

We would need scans or references, especially since I don't know what a Druggadon is. Am I forgetting a Pokemon here, folks? When I Google it I get this thread.

 

[Spidy]

all effects of an attack are resolved before anything that is triggered by the attacks happen

so the damage counters would not be placed if druddigon is attacked by an attack that returns the attacker to the hand or deck, because by that time the pokemon would be there and out of play.

(also note that if a pokemon is sent to the bench by an attack, it is still in play and would receive the damage counters)
