Attacks

Fly

30

Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Butterfree. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).

Rainbow Powder

20

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

The poison scales on its wings are waterproof, allowing this Pokémon to be active even on rainy days.

Rulings (1)

If I use Fantina and then my Flying Pikachu V with Big Parasol attached uses its "Fly" attack and successfully lands heads, would my opponent's Giratina V's "Shred" attack do any damage to Flying Pikachu V or not?

Shred isn't affected by "any effects on the Defending Pokemon"; so the effects from Fantina and Big Parasol and Fly would all be ignored, and Shred would do damage.
