I have some intuition about how Togekiss' Bright Veil should work, but a literal reading of the ability has some gray areas I believe.
I'm pretty sure it would stop: Pokemon Catcher, Escape Rope, Crushing/Enhanced Hammer, Tool Scrapper, Hypnotoxic Laser.
I'm not sure about Pluspower, because maybe that's an effect on the attacking pokemon.
I'm also unsure about tools. I'm thinking Togekiss probably does nothing against tools since they never have an effect when they are played from hand. But if you wanted to read the ability in one perspective, you could argue that any tool played while Togekiss was active could never affect you. One could also argue that if Togekiss is active, the act of attaching a tool to Garbador should not affect your Pokemon's abilities.
Thanks.
