Hello,
In a recent ruling between Grininja Mist Slash vs Lugia Pressure
"The reduction effect is on the attacking Pokemon, not the Opponen't Active Pokemon, so Mist Slash does not get to ignore it. The damage would be reduced."
Does the same logic apply to Tyrantrum-EX Despotic Fang vs Carbink Safeguard
Tyrantrum-EX
Ability: Despotic Fang
Damage from this Pokémon’s attacks isn’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon.
vs
Carbink
Ability: Safeguard
Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon by your opponent’s Pokémon-EX.
Based on the past G-Booster vs Silver Mirror ruling, I would rule the damage goes through, but the Grininja/Lugia confuses me.
Can you help me understand the difference between Grininja/Lugia and G-Booster/SilverMirror ?
Thanks
