How does iron valiant use tachyon bits on my benched Pokémon with an ability to prevent damage done by attacks while the Pokémon is on the bench??

The text of Iron Valiant ex's Ability reads:
Once during your turn, when this Pokémon moves from your Bench to the Active Spot, you may put 2 damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon.
An example of a benched pokemon with an ability you mentioned would be Tera pokemon.
As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent’s).
So there are two exceptions to the Tera rule:
- It must come from an Attack, not an Ability
- Putting damage counters is not subject to rules and effects regarding damage (see p20 of the rulebook, item 1), including the Tera rule
Hopefully that helps clarify things! It's a more nuanced rule but definitely adds more options and strategy to game!
