Okay, so I just wanted to ask this before rotation happened. If a damaged (M) Mewtwo-EX were to use Damage Change on a Pokemon with an active effect that prevents all effects such as Magearna-EX's ability, Safeguard, or a Pokemon holding Bent Spoon, what happens? Does the damaged (M) Mewtwo-EX still retain its damage counters? Do the damage counters get passed on?

Damage Change (Mewtwo EX - BREAKthrough)
Q. What happens if Mewtwo EX uses its "Damage Change" attack against a Pokemon that blocks effects of attacks? Does nothing happen, or does Mewtwo EX get to remove its damage counters?
A. Mewtwo-EX would remove its damage counters, but the opponent's Active Pokemon would not remove nor receive any. If you try to move damage *to* something that blocks effects, the damage disappears. If you try to move damage *from* something that blocks effects, the damage stays there. (Oct 29, 2015 TPCi Rules Team)
