Kirlia's Life Drain vs. Dustox

[Prof Donphan]

Is Kirlia Life Drain attack prevented from Dustox "Protective Dust" pokebody?
So Dustox receive or not damage until it's 10 Hp from KO?

[Chrisbo]

From the Compendium: == PROTECTIVE DUST (Dustox - EX: Ruby/Sapphire)
Q. If I have an attack that "places damage counters", is that considered an effect which is blocked by Dustox's "Protective Dust"?
A. Yes it is; placing damage counters is NOT the same as damage (doing damage) and would therefore be blocked. (Oct 30, 2003 PUI Rules Team)Hope this helps,
