The Vitality thing is my bad, though, but since it did give you an advantage, I don't know why you choose to point that out, other than being fair with me. I'm fine with you taking advantage of my goofs if it gives you an advantage, or calling me out when I goof up with stuff that would change the outcome of you battle.

The way I try to do multi action would be sequential and follow the INI, but in this case it seems that it didn't quite work out how I would like. If I had know, I probably would have had it use Agility after Mega Arbok did its double attack, so the round would have worked just about the same mechanically speaking. Well, I imagine, at least.

I do my damage calcs that way since I don't know the foe's vitality initially.  They're perfectly usable, just take note of when I say it's base damage.  That's when I haven't factored in the foe's vitality.

I pointed out the vitality thing because while it does give me an advantage, I do still want this to feel fair.  There's a reason I didn't point it out until after the battle, though Tongue 

The book actually has an example on how evasion works in that kind of scenario on page 46 (and that's also where they break down how each round's actions are ordered in general).  Initiative order follows the normal flow still (1st set of actions for all pokemon, then the second, then the third, and so on, then the new round).  On page 47, they expand upon that a little.  I think the best way to think about it is each set of actions in a multi-action round is like a mini round in and of itself.  There was no way that Fearow should have been able to use Agility without risking getting attacked since it wouldn't have had enough dice in its pool to use it as its third action.  But again, it didn't matter in this case, so no big deal this time.
