Fake Out + Encore, what happens?

Question

For example, if a Liepard uses Fake Out on a Kangaskhan and the player that is using the Kangaskhan chose Fake Out, as well...and on the second turn, if Liepard uses Encore on the flinched Kangaskhan, what would happen? Would the Kangaskhan be locked into Fake Out or would Encore fail?

Answer 1

Encore would simply fail.

Since I didn't use a move I wouldn't be able to be Encored. I also tested it with a friend on mine.

Here is the Showdown replay of the test.
