The most simple and most straightforward hint:

To learn his moves and be ready, just look at where he is (in the air, on the ground).

If he's in the air, you get in the air.

If he's on the ground, you stay in on the ground.

In the first case: to hit him in the air during pillars, and if he does the dive-dash it's to avoid that or to nail-bounce on his head before the dash.

In the second case if he sends firebats you want to dash between them and if he does the uppercut it's to dash away from  him.

I don't know if it's just me, but I get hit a lot because I dash or jump at the wrong time and this helped me remember which to do when.
