Crash Bomber

[shiftrymaster68]

Game Situation: PLayer 1 has an Octillery MT with 2 Energy attached. Player 2 has an Infernape with Holon FF and Basic Fire attached. Player 1 uses Crash Bomber, discarding the Holon FF. Now...

1) Does Crash Bomber check for the Energy, discard it, and do 30+30 then add Weakness modifiers, or...

2) Does Crash Bomber do the 30+30, recognizing that there's a Special Energy attached, then discard it?

It seems number 2 would be more logical, based on the attack's wording, but I'm just making sure. Thanks in advance!

Damage is calculated and applied before other effects:

h) Now that damage has been done, if the attack does anything other than damage,
do all of that.

All damage is calculated and applied before other effects of the attack, like discarding special energy. In this case, therefore, FF's effect modifies the damage done by preventing weakness, before it is discarded.
