Iron Hands Ex vs Spidops Ex

My question is:

If a Iron Hands ex is equiped with a future booster energy Capsule (that "removes" the retreat cost from him), and my opponent has a Spidops ex (his abillity increases one retreat cost).

Spidops attack is: 90 + 30 for each retreat cost in the active pokemon.

The Spidops can damage the Iron Hands or not?

    Yeah like @OlderAngel11 said Spidops ex is like a +1 to the retreat cost and then Future Booster Energy Capsule is effectively a x0 to the retreat cost. I always find thinking of things like this on mathematical terms helps me, but maybe that’s just me 😂

    I've never actually been in that kind of situation, but I believe it all depends on which is applied first. sorry wish I had a clear answer :(
