When I have Absol Prime as my active Pokemon and an Ampharos PT in my bench, when my opponent plays down an Uxie LA, will he be able to use Set Up?
 
The answer is no. The mandatory effects (Eye of Disaster) happen before the optional ones (Set Up). Absol puts 2 damage counters on Uxie, preventing it from using Set Up due to Ampharos' Damage Volt.
