Malamar:
Theta Stop: "Prevent all effects of your Opponent's Pokemon's Abilities done to this Pokemon."
Ability: Contrary "If this Pokemon is your Active Pokemon, whenever your opponent flips a coin during his or her turn, treat it as tails."
Dark Type
Wobbuffet:
Ability: Bide Barricade "As long as this Pokemon is your Active Pokemon, each Pokemon in play, in each player's hand, and in each player's discard pile has no Abilities (except for [P] Pokemon)."
Would this Ancient Trait (Theta Stop) prevent the effects of Bide Barricade on the Malamar? My instincts say yes, because Bide Barricade is an effect that is targeting the Malamar.
