Eh, why not? I'd rather not have to drop out of IPA entirely... But so it's not exactly the same as last time, let's make it a double battle. We'll each use four of our IPAs - Whisorita and Teto can stay on the sidelines because they're not even close to evenly matched with anyone else. That sound all right?((Hey Silver, you want to battle or should I beat up another helpless IPA?))
"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.

Ok, I'll start with Spore and Pinky so it's not too cheap for either of us. ...Ok, Mach Punch is 4x effective on Pupitron, but that's why I'm not using it. Because it's much more fun to be annoying! Spore, Stun Spore! And Pinky, use Slash on the Joltveon whose attack will actually come before yours because Granbull's friggin' slow.

((Did you roll to see if Stun Spore hit? Well according to my roll it hit anyway so I guess it doesn't matter...))
I am so tempted to switch right now... Oh well, I won't and we'll see what happens...
You're first Joltveon so use Quick Attack on Pinky!
*Pupitron gets hit by Stun Spore...*
*Joltveon gets hit by Slash...*
*Pupitron is paralyzed no more!* (Woot! Lucky dice roll!)
Good job Pupitron! Now hit Pinky with Thrash!

Um, correct me if I'm wrong but... I don't think Paralyzation can just completely wear off in the middle of a battle. It doesn't prevent attack every turn, but I wouldn't say that warrants a 'paralyzed no more'...
Anyway. Spore, use Leech Seed this time! And Pinky, just... use Slash on the Joltveon again.

Paralyze has a chance of wearing off on its own each time the paralyzed pokemon goes. Freeze, Confusion, and Sleep work the same way. Haven't you ever seen a statused pokemon in the game have its status wear off immediately after? It's happened to me occasionally. Also, Pupitron has Shed Skin, which gives it a 33% chance of removing any status effects it has every time it goes (which is seperate from the regular chance of the status wearing off).
Another Quick Attack on Pinky Joltveon, we'll just hope it faints before you do.
Pupitron is Seeded...
Joltveon is hit with Slash...
Pupitron keeps using Thrash and hits Pinky again. And...Thrash will not continue for a third turn. Pupitron is confused.

Ah. Forgot about Shed Skin. But I'm near positive that's the only reason Paralyzation can wear off. Confusion, Sleep, and Freeze all wear off on their own, yes, but Poison, Paralyze, and Burn stay until they're cured by way of item or Pokemon Center. At least, they've never just worn off on any of my Pokemon in all my years of playing Pokemon games...
Well, anyway, Pinky fainted, and now I'm sending out Splash because both of your Pokemon have type advantage to Twister.
Now that you're getting health from Pupitron, Spore, use Mach Punch on Joltveon, and Splash, use Bubblebeam!

Now that I think about it... You're probably right about paralyzation not wearing off on its own. But my dice roll that cured it was for Shed Skin anyway so as far as this battle goes, it doesn't really matter.
Joltveon, Thudershock on Splash!
Splash used Bubblebeam on...Joltveon?
Spore used Mach Punch on Joltveon!
Come on Pupitron, you haven't let confusion stop you before! Use Thrash on Splash! *rolls dice...* Pupitron is confused... Pupitron uses Thrash!
I wouldn't be surprised if Joltveon got KO'd there. If it didn't awesome, but if it did I'll replace it with Kirleotto.

Yes, Splash used Bubblebeam on Joltveon. Because I'm not cheap.
And yes, Joltveon would've fainted.
Splash, Recover! And Spore... well you're pretty much screwed, but use Absorb on the Kirleotto anyway. Because it's only not very effective on ONE of its types. Though I suppose its power is still lower than Mach Punch...

Yeah, Spore fainted. Effectiveness x 4 + 3 more wins = cheap.
So... Twister comes out.
And since I don't want this to be a completely pathetic showing... Splash, use Bubblebeam on Pupitron! And Twister... Confusion!

In the future, you should probably do your own dice rolls for Confusion and stuff. Anyway...
Twister uses Confusion on Pupitron! And Pupitron is already confused so that's not an issue.
Keep it up Kirleotto! Wing Attack on Twister!
Splash uses Bubblebeam on Pupitron!
Pupitron is confused no more! You can do it this time Pupitron! Thrash on Kirleotto!
