Question. So if this attacked a Pokemon that was weak to Fighting, would the Pokemon take 280 damage? Or is that what it means by “This attack’s damage isn’t affected by Weakness or Resistance”. Second question. If lets say you had a Bouffalant with Curly wall in the active but still had a second Bouffalant with Curly wall on the bench, even though this damage would go through the effect of the ACTIVE Pokemon, wouldn’t the Curly wall (-60 damage) still be applied due to the bench Bouffalant ability?

I think both these questions are resolved by the card text.
1. If Ogerpon attacks with Demolish, you don’t apply weakness, and the opposing Pokemon would only take 140 damage. Obviously, if Ogerpon were able to use another attack—say, TM: Blindside or Crisis Punch—weakness and resistance would apply like normal.
2. No, Curly Wall wouldn’t apply. Curly Wall is an effect that applies to qualifying Pokemon. Demolish shuts that effect off on the Pokemon it hits.
