Skeledirge ex (tera metal type) possible bug.
Just a question/FYI.
I am currently using this card in a deck and I wonder if the card is buggy. I was playing against a deck with Mimikyu. This Skeledirge's attack has the line "this attack is not affected by any effects on your opponents active pokemon." Something to that effect. It did damage, but also added weakness (x2) because Mimikyu is weak to metal. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the line above mean weakness and resistance do not apply to the attack also? The damage in the attack selection doesn't show the right amount of damage in the box you click on (for me it said 0) when it should have read 160. The attack still did double damage to Mimikyu. No abilities were in place that would prevent or push any of this, I believe. I didn't notice till late in the game and didn't get a screenshot.

Weakness/Resistance are a game mechanic, and not considered an effect on a Pokemon. An example similar attack that DOES ignore weakness/resistance would be Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex, where the attack is worded as follows:
"This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance, or by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon."

Oooh, so it would say weakness/resistance in the attack. Luster Burn says, "This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokemon." This is a relief to me. I was thinking I would likely need to quit using Skeledirge ex because I thought it was overreaching. Glad this is not the case. Thank you, BunnySauce. Thank you Mod_Bee for letting me know about the ticket; I think this covers it.
