Ruling Questions about Doublade's False Swipe

The card Doublade has the attack False Swipe which (if successful) deals enough damage to put the Opponent's pokemon at 10 health. So my question is if you had a Muscle Band on Doublade would that make him one hit kill everything (as it would be whatever damage is necessary to put the Opponent's Pokemon at 10 health, plus another 20 to kill it)? Or is muscle band ignored for that attack? Also is this attack affected by weakness or resistance?

False Swipe is not effected by Muscle Band or Weakness and Resistance because the attack is not dealing damage, but rather placing damage counters.
