Does Acid Trap Hole trigger Flip Effects on the monster it destroys?!
Acid Trap Hole is activated targeting a face-down monster.
Yes. The Flip Effect activates even if the monster is destroyed. If it has 2000 or less DEF, the Flip Effect still activates, but it cannot target itself if it was destroyed.

Select 1 face-down Defense Position monster. Flip it face-up, and if the DEF of the monster is 2000 points or less, destroy the monster. If the DEF is more than 2000 points, return the monster to face-down Defense Position.
●A face-down Jinzo will be destroyed by this card.
●If the monster flipped face-up has an effect that changes its DEF, such as Enraged Muka Muka, calculate the current DEF, then determine if it will be destroyed or flipped back face-down. So if you had 4 cards in your hand, Enraged Muka Muka would not be destroyed.
●If the targeted monster has a Flip Effect, that Effect is activated whether the DEF is greater than 2000 or not. If the DEF of the selected monster is 2000 or less, such as a Hane-Hane, it can't select itself for its Flip Effect since it is destroyed.
