Does my active Sylveon's "Safeguard" Ability prevent Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon's "Demolish" attack?
No. Safeguard is an effect on Sylveon, and Demolish ignores effects on your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Attacks
Magical ShotSylveon cuts an elegant figure as it dances lightly around, feelers fluttering, but its piercing moves aim straight for its opponents’ weak spots.

If I use Kyogre EX's "Smash Turn" or Celebi EX's "Wind Whisk" or Gengar EX's "Dark Corridor" attack, can I switch it with my benched Sigilyph that has the "Safeguard" Ability?
Since the attacking Pokemon is the target of the switch effect, Sigilyph can be moved in this situation.

If I use Victini-EX's "Turbo Energize" attack but choose to attach the two Basic Energy cards from my deck to Sigilyph with "Safeguard", what happens?
Sigiliph is a valid target for the choice of Benched Pokemon, but since Safeguard prevents all effects of attacks done by Pokemon-EX the energies would be discarded rather than attached to Sigilyph.
