Battling
How To (Cont.)
Conditionals
Often times, Conditionals are what is known through ASB as, wait-and-see conditionals. An example of this is:
Use Grass Knot, but if he uses Fire Blast, use Scald!
This results in the faster Pokemon slowing down, in order to complete the wait-and-see. It doesn't matter if the Pokemon was faster, the wait-and-see conditional was ordered, which will cause the faster Pokemon to wait and see which attack the opposing Pokemon uses.
Combination Attacks
At times, it may be the best bet to combine two attacks together, resulting in confusing the opponent. This is a Combination Attack. To order a Combination Attack, you will have to describe how you want your two attacks to work together, as show below:

Blaziken, Staravia is flying up real high. I want you to use Sky Uppercut to gain some height, then turn that uppercut into Thunderpunch!
Sky Uppercut+Thunderpunch

It is up to the Ref to calculate the power of the attack, what type the move is, and if it will result in failure or not. In this case, the move is classified as an Electric type move, with only Thunderpunch's attack power, but with the effect of reaching the out of reach Staravia.
If the combination makes no sense at all, then the Ref has the right to fail the attack if needed.
Also, combined attacks take up both actions for each round, and have the combined Energy of each attack.
