Ruling Lucky Helmet And Damage/Effects

[Diego Guillen Pelaez]

What happens if the defending pokemon has lucky helmet and:
- M-Mewtwo-ex X hits with Vanishing Strike? he draws cards?
- Mewtwo-ex uses damage change? he draws?
Thanks

The language on the cards would be very important, and to be quite honest I don't know the specifics offhand. Please post scans of the cards so we can give you an answer.

Even better, while you're doing that take a look at them and tell me what you think!

Hi, thanks for the answer this are the texts on the cards:
Mewtwo-ex: Damage change: Switch all damage counters on this pokemon with those on your opponet's active pokemon
M Mewtwo-ex X: Vanishing strike: If there is any stadium card in play, this attack does 50 more damage, and this attack damage isn`t affected by resistence or any other effects on your opponent`s Active Pokemon.
Lucky Helmet: Whenever the pokemon this card is attached to is your active pokemon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if that pokemon is knocked out), draw 2 cards.

I think that in mewtwo's damage change the helmet will not work because they are damage counter but in the other case with M mewtwo the helmet may work because the attack says that the damage will not be affected by any effect and the helmet's effect isn`t do anything with the damage but when the damage is done it's effect work and my opponent draws 2 cards.

thank you for your comments

Next time post actual scans instead of text, so we can provide an accurate answer.

With Vanishing Strike, your opponent gets to draw the cards. Vanishing Strike prevents effects when it comes to the /damage/ it deals. After performing the attack, Lucky Helmet activates since the Defending Pokémon was damaged.

With Damage Change, you're not dealing any damage, just moving damage around. Since the attack does no damage at all, Lucky Helmet doesn't activate.
