Correct. The only exception is that Toxipoison overrides regular poisoning.

Here's another dumb question, but if a pokemon that has used double team is hit but a status inflicting move, does the pokemon lose its clones? Or is that only if it is hit by a physical attack?

Are Velo and I giving you THAT much trouble? The clones do not disappear when statused, although there's only a chance the status move will hit the actual person.

Aha, nope, don't worry about it! I just want to make sure I have everything correct. Turns out I was thinking the right thing and second guessing myself

If a pokemon is roared or whirlwinded out of battle on the first action, is a random pokemon selected for the second action or does the trainer that has to switch get to choose what to send out?

A Pokemon that the field permits (i.e. If the arena, for whatever reason, bans Flying-types, then a Pidgeot couldn't come out) is randomly selected from the target trainer's party.

would counter work for a move like rock slide that is physical but doesn't cause either pokemon to come into contact?

Yep. Counter affects all phys. moves.

Are you allowed to reduce the priority of a priority action (eg stalling a switch)

Yes.

Substitute does block status moves like will o wisp and thunder wave right?
The substitute also can not be burned or paralyzed right?

[3m0d0ll]

If a Status inflicting move such as Thunderwave is used on a Pokemon that it protected by Substitute, then the target will not become Paralyzed.

Status conditions can be stacked. The only two that cannot be stacked are Poisoned and Toxipoisoned, in which case Toxipoison > Poison.

That I knew. Im just making sure that a substitute cannot be inflicted with a status?

[3m0d0ll]

Substitutes cannot be inflicted with a Status condition, yes.

Is there anything else that I can do around here to help out?
