I'm getting back into pokemon again and its been about a month, one of the most common cards me and my friends question a lot is Expert Belt and couldn't decide the ruling for the card, so we assumed it only added damage to attacks that actually had a damage number on the attack and ones with only effects or no damage of any kind of damage to the enemy pokemon is applied so my questions are

1. Is extra damage applied even if it has only an effect of an attack like Damage Even?

2. Does attacks that don't do any damage of any sort like Collect still do the 20 damage added from the Expert Belt?

3. Does spread damage like Darkness Lost apply the 20 damage to all or just the active pokemon?

No, There must be actual damage done to the active pokemon to have expert belt do 20 more damage.

2. Does attacks that don't do any damage of any sort like Collect still do the 20 damage added from the Expert Belt?
No, There must be Actual Damage being done.

3. Does spread damage like Darkness Lost apply the 20 damage to all or just the active pokemon?
Just the Active Pokemon
