If you damage the enemy boss in ‘transition’ to the next phase, does it damage them or do they soak it and you waste ammo?

Good question, I just keep shooting regardless.

The following phases are completely invulnerable until the transition is complete, even if they flash white as if they are taking damage:
Ribby and Croaks, final phase
Hilda Berg, final phase
Captain Brineybeard, final phase
Sally Stageplay, second phase (she is invulnerable during the first phase after she's taken enough damage and is also invulnerable during her entire dramatic entrance in the second phase)
(idk if you count this but on Baroness Von Bon Bon's third phase when she appears on top of her castle to shoot her cotton candy shotgun, she flashes as if she's taking damage when you shoot her. That's not actually the case, so if you shoot her while she's up there, your shots are not doing any damage. You'll have to wait for her to retreat back into her castle and reappear without the shotgun in order to actually damage the final phase.)
I think that's all of them. You can still keep shooting them while they're invulnerable to charge your super meter, but don't bother using a super or EX on them until the phase has fully transitioned. Any other phase in the game that takes damage during its transition will bleed into the phase's HP

This list is correct! Also wanted to add the third phase for wally warbles (the animation where the bird house is blowing up but before the mini wally appears). Wally is invulnerable during that animation but you can still build up card energy.
The second phase of phantom express also flashes while the skull is blowing up but damage does not bleed over into the next phase.

If you see the boss “change the color” to a little bit wither he is taking damage.
The majority of them take damage.

Yeah some bosses let you damage them during a transition to the next phase, some bosses let you do that but some bosses have a certain transition to the next phase where they are invincible but you can farm cards off from the transtion when the boss is invincible.
