First case: Both pokemon are without status, Tauros is around 51-82% HP (dies to crit Psychic or two non-crits), and Alakazam has enough HP to survive a non-crit Hyper beam from Tauros. Should the Alakazam use Psychic or Thunder wave?
And a second case, non-statused Alakazam who is in range of dying to Tauros's Body Slam is facing a paralyzed Tauros, should the Alakazam player ever in any case try to use Recover?
These are quite a common situations and often I'm quite clueless on what is the best play. Sometimes it's an easy choice, like if the Alakazam player has a Starmie then facing low HP non-paralyzed Tauros is better, and if he has a Dragonite then facing high HP paralyzed Tauros is better. But often it's not so easy for me.
