The AI\'s ability to re-afflict your Pokemon with a status on the same turn you heal it only applies to items. In \'\'\'all\'\' Pokemon battles prior to the 4th generation, when you use an item in battle it takes effect \'\'immediately\'\', while you\'re still on the menu screen -- the actual round of combat hasn\'t started yet, the AI hasn\'t even chosen its moves yet, so the AI can make decisions based on the \'\'results of\'\' whatever items you use.

The AI\\\'s ability to re-afflict your Pokemon with a status on the same turn you heal it only applies to items.

In double battles this means that you can\\\'t cancel/undo the item and make your first Mon perform another action instead. But it does mean that the AI hasn\\\'t picked its moves either, so it can make decisions based on \\\'\\\'results of\\\'\\\' any items you use.

So if the AI is attempting to Poison you, and you cure this via Antidote, the AI doesn\'t know that you used an Antidote so much as it knows your Pokemon \'\'isn\'t Poisoned anymore\'\' (thus, it can re-poison them during the same turn you used the item). Conversely, if your Pokemon\'s status gets cured by a move (Heal Bell) or ability (Shed Skin) \'\'mid-turn\'\', the AI doesn\'t know that and can\'t exploit it.

Another example in double battles is that if you\'re down to your last Mon and use a Revive, you\'re required to send the revived Mon out immediately (also before the round begins, before the AI decides its moves), which means that the AI can attack (and possiblye KO) the Mon on the same turn it was revived. On the upside, if your first Mon sweeps the opposing pair in one move, the opponent must send replacements out \'\'right away\'\' and your second Mon could also sweep \'\'them\'\' for a total of \'\'four\'\' knockouts during \'\'one\'\' turn.

In fact, prior to G4 when any Mon goes down the Trainer must send out a replacement before any further actions execute, which means that in double battles you can theoretically score up to \\\'\\\'four\\\'\\\' knockouts in a \\\'\\\'single\\\'\\\' turn if both of your Mons can sweep the opponent\\\'s pair in a single move.
