Lets say send out an Audino with helping hand and a Conkeldurr.
Audino uses Helping hand for Conkeldurr.
Audino faints before Conkeldurr attacks.
Does Conkeldurr still get the boost of Helping Hand??
Once helping hand has been used, until the one its applied to either faints or uses the move, the boost will remain. The one that uses helping hand does not need to survive until the actual attack happens, it need only use helping hand.
