Situation: I am playing Kecleon in the active position with Fire, Psychic, and another energy attached. My opponent has Latias-EX as his active Pokemon.

Question: Can Kecleon use his 'Imittack' attack to copy the Latias-EX 'Barrier Break' attack and successfully attack Latias-EX, causing damage?

My confusion: Latias-EX has the 'Bright Down' ability that states "Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokemon by your opponent's Pokemon with Abilities", but Barrier Break reads "This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on the Defending Pokemon".
 
Yeah, Barrier Break, copied by Imittack, ignores the Bright Down effect and does the damage.
No Weakness doubling, though, per the attack text.
