Oh no! Our attack is down! Good thing all we've got is Absorb, which is Grass, which is Special, which uses Special Attack and not regular attack, hm?
Now, Spore, Stun Spore! Accuracy's only 75, so rolling a <a href='http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm' target='_blank'>D100</a>, anything above 75 and it misses... 15! Tarn's paralyzed! And I do believe Paralysis prevents attack 50% of the time, so you've got a lot of coin flipping to do!

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

((Yeah, you attack on heads.))
Ha ha! We shall continue to employ the annoyer strategy; Leech Seed, Spore! Accuracy is 90; rolling a D100 again, and... 84! It hits! I can't say I know how much damage Leech Seed does every turn, on account of the Nintendo Power guide fails to mention anything but its accuracy and effect, but I know it's not much... and whatever it does restores Spore's health, of course!

Mwahaha... my plan is pulling together... Now for some direct damage. Spore, Absorb! Which also restores Spore's health a little!

Keep using Absorb, Spore! Now that we've got it Leech Seeded, too, we'll restore a bunch of health every turn!

Not necessarily... Bite's base power is 60. Absorb's is 20, and it restores about 1/4 of the damage it does, which isn't much. If you got lucky (by that I mean no full paralysis) you probably could've won...
