Best answer
Anticipation vs. Forewarn
When a Pokemon with anticipation enters a battle, the Pokemon will "shudder (slighty shake)" if the opponent has a super-effective move, one-hit KO move, or Self-Destruct/Explosion. Also, the multi-type move Hidden Power will activate anticipation if the Hidden Power type is super-effective. Moves like Judgement, Weather Ball, etc. do not activate anticipation, but you can tell by observing the opposing Pokemon and the surroundings
However with Forewarn, when the ability-bearer enters, it will actually show you the opponent's move with the highest power (does not need to be super-effective). If 2+ moves are the same power, one will be chosen at random. For doubles, it will take the move with the highest power between both opponents; otherwise random selection if 2+ moves have the same highest power.
Power of Alchemy vs. Receiver
For these two abilities, it actually has
the same effect
When an ally Pokemon faints (regardless of the cause), the ability-bearer with one of these abilities will have it replaced with the ability of the fainted ally. It can not replace the abilities: Trace, Forecast, Flower Gift, Multitype, Illusion, Wonder Guard, Zen Mode, Imposter, Stance Change, Power Construct, Schooling, Comatose, Shields Down, Disguise, RKS System, Battle Bond - nor can it be replaced if the ally has Power of Alchemy or Receiver. Role Play, Trace, and Entrainment will also fail.
Hope I helped! :)
