Postgame Sucker Punch AI

Anyone know how the AI shifts in the postgame? During the main game I could always get away with Swords Dance into Sucker Punch, and then following up with Bullet Punch. Postgame it seems like they 90% of the time they read my move input and only Sucker Punch when I attack, but I want to know if there's any easier way to tell?

Florinia seems absolutely useless in this fight. Anyone have any tips for how to win this? I'm running a mono-bug run so my choices are limited. Florinia's pokemon pretty much all die in one shot to Zapdos, and they all have bad accuracy. Is this one just going to be para-flinch-confuse luck? If so, I'd rather just skip it. I've already had Stomping Tantrum miss 3x in a row

Right now my strategy is to use a focus sashed Illumise to paralyze Aerodactyl and encore Cobalion to stop Stealth Rock set up. I reset until Hippowdown can get 2x Stomping Tantrum to defeat Cobalion after reflect. Then she sends out Talonflame and I can paralyze it and take out Aerodactyl and Talonflame with Rock Slides. Once she takes out Hippowdown though, I'm not sure anyone on Florinia's team can tank a mountain-boosted Air Cutter from Zapdos, and my bugs certainly are limited. I've typically taken out Zapdos with Yanmega's mountain-boosted Air Slash (2x to KO), but since Florinia's pokemon are frail and dont have protect, I'd have to sacrifice most of them.
