Does Brick Break remove Screens before/after the attack?

Dec. 11, 2018

My Landorus-T’s Brick Break will always OHKO a max Defence Alolan-Ninetales ifAurora Veil is not up.However, if Aurora Veil is up,Brick Break does not kill.So my question is:

Does Brick Break remove the effects of Aurora Veil before or after dealing damage?

If so, then I have no fear (it’s a scarf Landorus so I’ll outspeed regardless).

Brick Break removes Reflect/Light Screen/Aurora Veil before attacking

Well, that’s what I read on every Pokémon site I found. As for your Alolan Ninetales thing, I think it’s just coincidence, the algorithm used to determine damage dealt in Pokémon varies sometimes, by just a few HP, fortunately.

Before.

Removing screens/veil before damaging sounds niche to ignore that same effects and dealing more Damage.
