How does Ehren interact with Flip monsters compared to Grand Mole/Catastor?!

Ehren, Lightsworn Monk Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter Snowman Eater Grand Mole Ally of Justice Catastor Mystic Swordsman LV2

Ehren attacks a set monster; comparison with Grand Mole/Catastor.

Ehren flips the monster in Substep 2; the Flip Effect still activates later in Substep 6 even if Ehren shuffles it back in Substep 3. Grand Mole/Catastor/Mystic Swordsman LV2 activate earlier (Substep 1) before the monster is flipped, so the Flip Effect does not activate.

Rulings

edisonformat.net ●The start of the Damage Step is before monsters are flipped face-up. ●If this card destroys a Set monster with its effect, this card's ② can't be activated. edisonformat.com If "Mystic Swordsman LV2" attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, that monster is destroyed by "Mystic Swordsman LV2"’s effect, not as a result of battle. So you cannot use its second effect to Special Summon "Mystic Swordsman LV4" during the End Phase. If a level monster fulfills its condition to Special Summon the next-highest level (for example, if "Armed Dragon LV5" destroys a monster as a result of battle), and the level monster is then flipped face-down, or removed from play permanently, or sent to the Graveyard and then Special Summoned from the Graveyard, then its condition is reset and it is no longer considered to have met the condition to level up to the next level.
