I was extremely thorough in my original analysis of the precise flow of what happens in each possible case, and I had the critical counterattack written up there, but somehow it got lost when I wrote up the descriptions of the turn outcomes for the page, and then I wrote the code based on that writeup instead of referring back to the original analysis. (Unfortunately, as you can tell, I haven't actually been able to play any Pokéwalker courses myself since probably 2010 and wrote this up based purely on poring over the code and refreshing my general memory on what battles on the Pokéwalker actually look like off the scant few YouTube videos I could find - normally I always try to confirm this sort of thing myself on…
