Attacks

This attack also does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

This Pokémon can control ice at will. Articuno is said to live in snowy mountains riddled with permafrost.

Rulings (1)

If my opponent's N's Vanilluxe uses its "Blizzard" attack and there is a Battle Cage Stadium in play, would Benched Pokemon be protected from taking 10 damage each?

No. Doing damage is not an effect and is different from placing damage counters. Battle Cage only protects against placing damage counters, not damage done, even if that damage came from the attack text.
