This is the situtation came up while battling on Pojo
Apprentice League:
Say it's your turn and you use a Defender on a Tentacool (with
20 damage on it) to prevent it from getting knocked out.
Then your opponent decides to put 4 PlusPowers on his Mankey
and uses scratch. Would my pokemon be knocked out? Or would defender block all
the damage, since PlusPower uses the wording, "when damage is done"
After weakness and resistance is applied, then all non-Pokemon Power
effects are applied. Defender is -20 and 4 Plus Powers would be +40.
The two apply together for a net of +20. Add in 10 for Scratch and it will
deal 30 damage, knocking out the Tentacool.
