this is really interesting, does that mean that in a doubles battle if i use tail wind, the effect wont make my other poke faster untill next turn?
Yeah, while the physical attack drop from burns is instant, once the moves are selected the order in which the Pokemon attack is locked in (assuming nobody uses the move Quash).
There are some other important things about speed that can be very important, like knowing that the ability of the faster Pokemon goes first so you can tell whether you or your opponent is faster and that the faster Pokemon switches out first, so if you switch in to an intimidator while your opponents slower Pokemon also switches out, there Pokemon they switch in to will not be intimidated.
You may have already known these, but they can be game breaking or at least provide valuable information.
