Not sure if this was reported yet or not, but Counter seems to be broken in Doubles; it seems to be randomly targeting.
1st Counter: my Chansey was supposed to Counter a Mamoswine's Earthquake, but it instead went for the opposing Kangaskhan (which protected itself).
2nd Counter: The next turn Kangaskhan hit Chansey with Hammer Arm and Mamoswine attacked the partner Pokemon, but it Countered Mamoswine anyway (which still did damage and KO'd it).
Apparently the damage calculations for Counter are working fine, but it needs to be coded to hit the last Pokemon in the turn that hit the user with a physical move. Chansey would've KO'd two Pokemon and won me the match if it weren't for this.
This may or may not also apply to Mirror Coat.

(Stupid question: In the actual game, if Chansey's partner Pokemon hits it with a physical move last in the turn, does Chansey Counter the partner? Or does it prioritize and/or only Counter the opposing side? This may be relevant in fixing Counter's coding.)
