Zapdos's attack says it does 40 damage to one of your pokemon. First of all, do you get to choose which one of your pokemon takes the damage?
If so, would it be possible to play an old amber on the bench, direct the 40 damage to the old amber and then have it negated because of old amber's pokebody (prevent all damage while on the bench from attacks, yours and your opponent's)? Old amber counts as a Pokemon while on the bench, so even though this sounds insanely cheap, it is possible., right?

Yes you can chose which pokemon to damage, and no old amber can't be damaged by that attack.
