Sylveon EX vs Arboliva ex

Does sylveon magical charm attack reduction also apply to the benched Pokémon making it only do 20 overall or only apply for the defending Pokémon

Oh, I see what you're asking. I think it depends on whether they're targeting the same Pokémon or not. If its spread, the damage is reduced for each one. That's how it usually works for spread damage attacks at least.

No. It only applies to the Pokémon hit by the attack, and the effect disappears completely if that Pokémon retreats/switches and returns to the Active Spot.
