i just wanted to make sure I’m reading everything correct. Mewtwo from shining legends promo pressure ability would block all damage from Tapu koko’s Flying flip from all of your Pokémon including the ones on the bench if mewtwo is your active Pokémon right? I didn’t see much written about it but wanted to get this out there for everyone’s clarification

You are correct. The ability specifics '20 less damage', and language of Flying Flip says that it's supposed to do damage, but it would get negated. It would be different if Flying Flip said something along the lines of 'place 2 damage counters', as damage and damage counters are not considered the same thing.
