I was wondering if cards like Kyurem NV and Zapdos ND are affected by Black Belt or PP when it comes to their spreading and sniping attack respectively?

Read the cards. PlusPower and Black Belt clearly state they only add damage done to the Active Pokemon, not to any Benched Pokemon.

Zapdos would gain the bonus only if Random Spark chose to target the opponent's Active Pokemon; as for Kyurem, Glaciate would do 30+X to the opponent's Active Pokemon and 30 to each opponent's Benched Pokemon (other effects notwithstanding).

Please add a scan or card reference of the card(s) in question.
To answer your question. No. The cards clearly state that your active Pokemon's attack does an additional X amount of damage done to your opponents active Pokemon. So doing damage to a benched Pokemon is not increased by these cards. Same goes for a dark Pokemon using a special darkness energy.

The only current way to increase damage done to the bench is to use mew prime to copy swanna's feather dance, followed by a spread or a snipe attack. good luck surviving long enough for that though :/
