And there actually is method to his madness, don't worry - that being that if he can't brute-force an attack due to Protect, he's going to be making this battle as annoying as possible and Carlisle has a lot of moves that can make battles wicked annoying. You're also going to learn quickly that he likes aiming for the face when his opponents come closer to initiate contact-making moves; as much as moves like Mud-Slap completely offend his sense of cleanliness, it's what he's going to be doing as soon as that Grass Knot starts coming into play. Assuming that isn't also Protect-spammed against or otherwise evaded, he's willing to potentially take damage for the sake of killing her accuracy further.
