Dragapolt vs manaphy
In a recent battle I had dragaplot on my enemies side was able to hit my entire bench even though it shouldn’t

Dragapult ex places damage counters to the bench, which is different than doing damage. Manaphy stops damage from being done, but do not stop placing damage counters.

What about Rabsca's recent ability? how does that differ from Manaphy? The only other counter to Dragapult so far is Mist Energy.

@KaTaRiMari They differ yes:
Rabsca "Spherical Shield" ability ,"Prevent all damage from and effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokémon done to your Benched Pokémon.", so it protects the bench against damage counters (great to protect from Dragapult ex, etc.)
On the other hand Manaphy "Wave Veil" ability "Prevent all damage done to your Benched Pokémon by attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon.", so it doesn't protect against damage counters, but it protects the bench from atack damage (great to protect from Radiant Greninja, etc.)
