If Rhydon’s “Fury Attack” attack is used against a Pokemon with a (+20) Weakness to the Fighting-type, and I flip tails 3 times, can I deal the 20 damage for the Weakness?
No, you can’t deal damage. When calculating damage, read the number to the right of the attack and the attack’s explanatory text, and calculate how much basic damage there is. Since damage calculation is terminated at the point when the basic damage becomes 0, once that happens, calculations for damage-altering effects that lie on the Pokemon that used the attack, Weakness, Resistance, damage-altering effects that lie on the Pokemon receiving the attack, etc., aren’t performed.
