Can someone explain why my Greninja doesn't get hurt by spiky shield or poisoned by baneful bunker?

not gonna watch but i'm guessing you aren't using contact moves

Protective pads maybe
beat up is not a contact move.

nvm, it's what >>32886482 said.
>>32886466
Beat Up apparently isn't a contact move for some retarded reason.

This
Beat up is not a contact move OP. Look it up.

Seeing as it's ability is Mold Breaker, I'm pretty sure it's holding Protective Pads which makes your moves not make contact it's a pretty obscure item introduced this gen.
Clearly the move beat up invokes the feeling of being ganged up on and causes emotional damage instead of physical.
