Doubts about some PKMN moves...

I have this bunch of questions for now... pretty simple, hope you guys can help me out. (Think that there will be 1 or 2 interesting questions...)

* Roar/Whirlwind works on a Pokemon who have used Substitute?

* Pokemon who have Inner Focus ability (I.E. Dragonite) can overabuse
Focus Punch, since "They cant be flinched" and thus, cant be stoped?

* Does Encore + Torment combo really traps your foe into only using
Struggle?

* Although Protect/Detect has the same effect, does it really works together
as if they were totally different moves? (I.E. Protect, then Detect, then
Protect again will succesfully block ALL attacks until run out of PPs?)

That`s all that I can remember for now, but I had much more doubts. Gonna post later in the future the other questions I had. Thanks for the atention.

1. No
2. No. You'll still flinch either way, since it's not really flinch, but losing focus according to the move animation.
3. Yup
4.No, they run off the same counter, so using Protect then Detect is the same as using Protect twice. Endure works off the same counter.

Oh yes it does, and it's one heck of a PITA. Ditto for Encore + Disable. I got trapped into that by a Dewgong.

Focus Punch, since "They cant be flinched" and thus, cant be stoped? This Inner Focus Ability doesnt apply.

Struggle? Yes

* Although Protect/Detect has the same effect, does it really works together
as if they were totally different moves? (I.E. Protect, then Detect, then
Protect again will succesfully block ALL attacks until run out of PPs?) I believe it will successful block moves, since they are different moves. *Warning this is only an opinion!*

No

Yes, and it's really annoying.

No, protect and detect have the same chances of working. Every time you use it, the accuracy goes down for both.
