Game switches in pokemon perversely
Is there some trick here?
When I'm in combat, when a pokemon is near death, I switch to a different one, because I'm almost out of revives and I cannot keep up with my supply consumption. But then if I miss a dodge and it kills one of my others THE GAME SWITCHES BACK TO THE ALMOST DEAD ONE. Which gets promptly killed. Today a single missed dodge cost me 3 revives - because the one it switched in automatically (which was almost dead) immediately died, and so did the next one (same reason). I have under 20 revives on hand now (and over 50 dead prestigers that aren't critical enough to use a precious revive on).
Is there any way to keep the game from killing all the pokemon that I had gotten out of battled before they died if I slip up and let one die? Why does it put back in the weakest attacker, instead of one of the ones at full HP!?

The way to do that would be to use the last 5 first (leave something tanky in the first slot and switch out when the first fight starts), that way, the game would switch you into the first available defender, which is at full HP. Otherwise, just switch them earlier so if they get switch in, they can endure at least 1 hit.
I have noticed this and now place a tank in the first slot "Blissey". Then pick 5 monsters to battle.
Once I enter the fight I switch to the pokemon I want. If I ever take a hit due to lag dodge bug, bilssey comes out and takes a hit. When the lag resolves and the game reverts the damage my dead pokemon comes back and I switch to a fresh pokemon and continue the pounding.
Ive experienced the horror of a DT/OR dragonite killing 3 pokemon because of lag switching.
the battle was like this:
Dragonite VS dragonite. I was pounding away with DB and it used OR. I was near death so I switched to another dragonite while the OR was charging. Somehow the damage hit the current dragonite (dead), the newly one I switched in (dead). The game pulls out my next dragonite who immediately get hits by another OR ( dead). Then I get "You loose".......
