If Boba assn for hire uses bait and switch to swap with a falleen BS bodygaurd does the attacker still have to make the pheremones save? Bait and switch says that the enemy can't be prevented from attacking the character so I would think no but just wondering? Additionally, if he were to swap with someone with say soresu or another ability that negates damage after the attack such as shaman aura, would those abilities still trigger? In that case I would think yes because they were still able to make the attack the attackers damage was just prevented. Thanks in advance for any help in clearing this up.

Lets look at the ending of Bait and Switch "the enemy cannot be prevented from attacking it this turn" this part was an important add on so that Boba's Swap cannot be abused with say Diplomats. So you may as well not even roll for the pheremones as the attack itself cannot be prevented.
Soresu, Evade ect still work as only the attack cannot be prevented, but the damage can

Just to clarify the interaction, Pheromones triggers when a character is targeted. With Bait and Switch (or Decoy), that step has already passed when the characters exchange places. The original target is no longer the character being attacked, so Pheromones doesn't apply.
