Pokémon ranger and solgaleo gx

[firebladedragon]

If I played Pokémon ranger and then use solgaleo's sunsteel strike would I still have to remove the energy for the attack or would the effect be canceled out by ranger?

 

[PokePop]

Pokemon Ranger removes Attack effects that are in place at the time it is played.
It does not work into the future to prevent effects of attacks that haven't happened yet.
So no, it would not prevent the effect of Sunsteel Strike.

Thank you for the clarification
