Okay I don't know if this should be moved on unkown G Q's but if so I will move it.

Okay if I have an Unkown G on my Pokemon and use Bring Down and the Pokemon With unkown G has the same HP of my oppanants then will I choose my opponants pokemon to be knocked out or mine I thought Unkown G protects it.

The other one is this
If I have have Unkown G on my Pokemon that have 40 Hp left will I knock out my Opponants pokemon with 120 out if I have only one Bench with 40 HP left?

Thanks

I feel stupid asking this.
 
Question One: You would have to choose between their lowest HP Pokemon and yours (if that one has Unown G)(if they have the same remaining HP).

Question Two: You would knock out your Pokemon with 40 HP if that was the lowest amount of remaining HP on the field. Even if your opponent has a Pokemon with 50 HP remaining and it doesn't have an Unown G.

The reasoning to these questions is because Unown G was given the errata to only prevent effects of attacks (excluding damage) done by opponent's attacks. If it was allowed to prevent effects of attacks (excluding damage) done by attacks that you do can you imagine seeing a Rayquaza [LA] doing its 150 damage every turn without having to discard its energy? Unown G would just have become even more godly than it already is.

So when doing Gardevoir Lv.X's Bring Down, be weary that your Unown G won't stop its effect on your side of the field from YOUR Gardevoir Lv.X.
