Ruling Unown G effect question

[lambregts]

Hello all...

If I am attacking with Donphan and using Bash In

"If the Defending Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool card attached to it, this attack does 70 damage plus 60 more damage."

will the Unown G attached to the opponent prevent the 60 more damage?


Thanks...

Unown G does not prevent the extra damage. It is just that, damage. Bash In only checks to see if there is a Tool attached to the Pokemon, it does not place an effect on the Pokemon in any way.

See that + next to the 70? Since the defending pokemon has Unown, imagion the 70 to say 70+60. That's how I remember. If there's a + or a X next to the damage, it isn't an effect. It's damage.

Damage calculation is never an effect. If an attack does damage for any reason (not damage counters), it's just that, damage.
