Help Assault Tackle Ruling

[K_la]

Pokedad question... While playing with my son, I used zamazenta's assault tackle, against my sons Dragapult Vmax. It had a horror energy attached. Assault tackle discards a special energy. Do I still take two damage counters for the attack or does he attac remove the condition of the horror energy first?

I'm not a Professor, but my guess would be that you still take the damage since when you dealt it the Energy was still active.
