Debuff is technically not the same as status affliction, although they both pretty much suck. One is blocked by effects like Mist and the other by Safeguard and such.
And yes, the status effects would likely trigger before she could use her move, like Drac says... I mean seriously, confusion combined with paralysis is a BITCH in the games, with only a 33% chance of successfully attacking.
As for Impact/Matt, I'd probably just get Unownaunt and Shaymin on Impact, Wormadam on Matthias and go with that.
Helping Hand would only help with one of Irene's attack. Helping Hand on Sceptile after all those boosts would give it a power of almost 1000, which could hit two foes for the same power if it was divided. (Another 25 rage from Melanie to boost Irene's Rage again?)
