If I use shred from Giratina EX, on a Eelektrik with Giant Cape attached, would it ko? I'm not sure if Giant Cape is an effect on the defending pokemon, or if it's treated as the Eelektrik having 110 hp. Same with Aspertia City Gym. Thanks!

Shred's effect is referring to anything that would try to alter Shred's damage. Neither Aspertia City Gym nor Giant Cape affect Shred's damage. They would take 90 damage as usual.

Eviolite, however, is an example of a card that does try to alter Shred's damage. That's what the attack ignores, so you would still do 90 to a Pokemon with Eviolite attached.

"This attack's damage isn't affected by..."

The extra HP from Giant Cape isn't something that affects the damage. Eviolite is something that affects it, so it's ignored.

Bolding the word for emphasis.
