Is the Amazing Destruction (Yveltal) knock out an effect or part of the attack?
1 Answer
Shining Fates Amazing Rare Yveltal has the following attack text:
Amazing Destruction
Your opponent’s Active Pokémon is Knocked Out.
That is an attack, and the effect of that attack is that the opponent’s Pokémon is knocked out. A Pokémon that was protected from the effects of attacks would be protected from that; it is not dealing damage.

Correct. Big Parasol would block it from doing anything if it were on the active Pokémon.– JoeCommented Mar 19, 2021 at 10:52

I wonder if Hero's medal applies here. The card mentions "damage from an attack", but this move doesn't inflict dmg. Commented Jun 15, 2021 at 18:44

Right - Experience share says "damage from an attack", so it would not proc here, nor would any other card that says "damage from an attack".– JoeCommented Jun 15, 2021 at 18:52
