Bug with Dragaoult and Shamin on the live

Dragapault was still able to hit my bench even though I had Shamin out and none of the bench cards had a rule box. There were no items or anything else in play that should have allowed this to happen.

Shaymin protects pokemon from damage. Dragapult doesn't do damage to the bench, it places Damage counters. Those are completely different things mechanically.

Yeaaahhh,.. it took me over a year to figure them out? Or do I still just think I understand it and it is going to surprise me the next time again?
