How do explosion moves and victories work in double battles?

Question

Sorry if this a dupe, but this always confuses me. Who would win if a Pokemon were to use an explosion move and it takes out all Pokemon on the battlefield? Would you or your opponent win? Does it matter who uses the explosion move that determines victories?

If this is a dupe pls link me.

Um I think it would be your victory, because tehnically, your opponent's Pokemon fainted first, assuming it was their last one.

---

What if I use an explosion move? Also are you 100% sure?

---

You think. Please don't answer a question  if you don't know the answer.

---

Actually, Explosion makes you faint first.

That works. Also to be clear the pokemon that uses explosion loses?

You're supposed to be sure of your answer before posting.

Answer 1

The player that uses Explosion will lose. This makes sense because your Pokémon faints first from the move.

What if your ally is the slowest Pokemon in the battle, so it faints after everyone else?

Answer 2

Using Explosion in that sort of scenario will cause the opponent to win. The Pokemon that uses Explosion faints first, then your ally faints next, followed by both opponents. Initially I thought it would be decided by speed, but no.

First replay (The ally Diglett is faster than both opponents)

Second replay (The ally Happiny is slower than both opponents)
