Oh yeah, forgot that Mach Punch goes first. I'll just assume I go first this time and if Opal says I don't Silver's next attack can go before this one.
Ok Maripuff, it's all up to you now. With Huge Power & Cute Charm you just might be able to pull this off. Use Pound! *Rolls dice... No special effects but Huge Power still gives the attack a big power boost.*

Um, define 'big'. The Nintendo Power guide doesn't say how much Huge Power actually increases strength, but I'm sure it doesn't increase it as much as abilities that have requirements that must be met in order for them to do anything at all (Like Guts that requires a stat condition)... otherwise there wouldn't be any balance to the ability system at all.
Well, your Kirleotto must've attacked first to knock Twister out, and then Spore took her place and used Mach Punch... And Spore is definitely faster, so I think this would go first.
Spore, Stun Spore! Accuracy is only 75, but it hit! And you'd be stuck with infatuation if they weren't the same gender; Spore's got Cute Charm too, remember!

"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.

Can't decide if I'm glad or annoyed that they're both male... Although Stun Spore wouldn't activate Cute Charm anyway since it only works with physical attacks.
Anyway, let's say you paralyzed me, my Pound attack went through, and since you're sure Spore is faster it's now your move.
As for Huge Power, my strategy guide doesn't give an exact amount either and I haven't spent much time fighting with any pok?mon that has it. However, Pok?mon Elite 2000 says that it doubles attack power. And, considering that the only pok?mon who have it in the games have a pretty lousy attack stat that might very well be the case.
This has nothing to do with the battle but does your guide say how much Sand Veil raises a pok?mon's evasion?

Maripuff would've been infattuated if they weren't both male, so you should be glad <_<
Spore, use Leech Seed! Annoyer strategy time! Accuracy is 90... it hits!
Eh... I suppose Azumarill's attack is really, really apatchetic for a fully evolved Pokemon... of course, it's a water type, so it would use mostly special attacks anyway.
No, I don't get an exact number, either... all it says is it only works during Sandstorms, so I'm guessing it would raise it quite a bit, though.

Too bad you don't have a number for Sand Veil. Can't decide if I want to teach my Sand Slash Sand Storm or not...
On another note: we need a reference post for what rolls you need for the various conditions (paralyze, confusion, etc).
Let's try another Pound Maripuff and hope Huge Power gives us the edge. *Mairpuff is fully paralyzed.* Dang...

All right, Spore, offense time! Absorb! Weak attack, yes, but Super effective!
What we need numbers for now is how much Absorb and Leech Seed restore... because we're gonna be seeing a whole lot of them.

Absorb has a power of 20 and you get back HP equal to half the damage it deals. As for Leach Seed, the HP gain is the same as the damage delt but it does very little damage...
Also, Maripuff is normal, not water so Absorb isn't super effective. Odd yes, but unless Opal forget to tell Shauni and I, it never became a dual type when it evolved.
Pound! *Not paralyzed this time and...Critical hit!* Now that's gotta hurt.

Since it is too a Water type (I was pretty darned sure she had mentioned that it was...) Spore is going to continue using Absorb and it's going to continue being Super effective.
And yeah, that's what I wanted to know - exactly how much damage Leech Seed does.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Why keep the normal type if you're going to give it Water Attacks anyway?
So, I'm taking this opportunity to edit my last post. It's not my fault Josiah was misinformed.

And WE'LL just have to hope that all the health being restored every turn, the fact that Maripuff's base attack stat sucks royally, the occasional failed attack due to paralysis, and our Super effective damage make up for his Huge Power!
And let's not forget that Spore's got one more win than Maripuff. Hmm. Well, keep using Absorb.

Yeah, the critical hit should make up for the ONE attack you missed from paralysis... How'd you hit three times in a row when it's supposed to be 50/50, anyway?
Well, keep using Absorb, Spore!
