Resistance an effect?

Okay, so I have a question. Regirock from sun and moon has an Attack that does 110 damage and says that this attack is effected by resistance. Is that an effect of an attack? Or is it just Weakness and resistance? Thanks!
 
You mean the Regirock from Sun & Moon: Crimson Invasion (also printed as SM promo 74)
Also, you mean that says "isn't affected by Resistance"?
If both of those are correct, then...

So, W&R are treated as Game Mechanics.
About a year ago, Pokémon issued the following clarification:

* The term “any effects” does not include effects that alter Weakness and Resistance. (May 3, 2017 TPCi Rules Changes Announcement; May 18, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)

You can find this and lots of other useful rulings in the Compendium, here:
