Agility Question

I didn't see this specifically in the Compendium so I thought I'd ask it here.
Your opponent uses Agility (Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage done to "insert attacking Pokemon's name here" next turn) and rolls heads...initiating that part of the attack. On your turn, you attack using Scizor EX's Steel Wing with 4 Metal Energy attached. Even though you do not do damage, do you still get the benefit of the -20 damage (-40 more for Metal) done to Scizor EX next turn?
I appreciate the response.
 
Since the part of Scizor EX's Steel Wing attack that reduces Damage by 20 during the Opponent's next turn is not an effect that is being done to the Pokemon with Agility, it would not be prevented. Scizor EX's would have the extra 20 reduction on the Opponent's next turn.

Just to add on to BDS, any effect of an attack that IS NOT being done to the Agility Pokemon will still work(i.e. Mix Up discarding a card, Spinning Tail doing damage to the bench, etc.).
