what is the order of calculating damage on a defending pokemon?

ex. donphan is weak against water and resistant against lightning.
i attack with suicune raikou legend which is both water and lightning.

donphan also has exoskeleton pokebody that reduces damage by 20. and a defender which is another 20

my RS legend has an expert belt and attacks with a 50 dmg attack.

would the damage output be:
50 (attack)
+20 (expert belt)
x2 (weakness on donphan)
-20 (exoskeleton)
-20 (defender)
-20 resistance
____
80 damage total
 
You were almost right. Resistance comes immediately after weakness, however (although in this case the end result is still 80). So it's:

~Base damage
~Effects on the Attacking Pokemon (Expert Belt)
~Weakness(es)
~Resistance(s)
~Effects on the Defending Pokemon (Exoskeleton and Defender)

That is damage calculation.
