Ruling Few Questions..

Probably some stupid questions but..

1)Do the damage increases/decreases accumulate? For example, I have an Aggron out with 4 Special Metal Energies, does that mean any damage done to him is reduced by 40? And vice versa with the Darkness energy?

2)Lets say I have a card that prevents damage. Not effects, but says "prevent all damage done to" so and so.. and my opponent has Typhlosion with Shady move. Can he move a damage counter to that pokemon that prevents damage to itself? Because it really isn't an attack.

3) Do Pokebody's count as attacking? Say I had Makuhita on the field and use sand attack, would my opponent have to flip to use something like Shady Move to move a damage counter to Makuhita?

Thank you for your time in answering these questions, and not saying "stupid noob, you should know this". =D
 
1) Yes for both. Keep in mind, they are limited to 4 each per deck, and Darkness boosts do nothing towards snipes.

2) Shady move, as you assumed, is a Power, thus unblocked. And anyway, damage counters, Special Conditions, etc. are not part of Base Damage, and thus they also get through your ability.

3) Bodies aren't attacks, and Shady move is a Power, not a body. Attacks are active whether you like it or not, unless it's Active-only. Powers are only disabled if infected with a Condition, or not Active (if required), or something stated in the power.
