Both cards that I am implying about are from Flashfire. I just don't know how to add a picture to my thread first time posting on this site in almost three years. Just coming back from an extended break. And everyone I know has different opinions on this. I would like your opinion.

Pyroar ability Intimidating Mane says, "Prevent all damage done to this Pokemon done by your opponents abasic pokemon"

Toxicroak EX first attack for two colorless "Triple Poison: Your opponent's Active pokemon is now poisoned. Put 3 Damage counter instead of 1 on that Pokemon between turns

Now does that include placing damage counters due to poison. Toxicroak EX does not do any physical damage to the pokemon, just ups the damage counter of poison damage between turns. Does Toxicroak EX attack ignore Pyroar's Ability?

You can use the image scans from the first page of Pokebeach and right click and "Copy image URL"

Toxicroak does poison Pyroar as the attack does not do damage and Intimidating Mane only blocks DAMAGE from basic pokemon.

Pyroar would take 3 Damage Counters between turns until the Poison condition is removed or replaced.
