I was wondering if confusion and sleep are considered respectively a psychic and a normal status or if they aren't given a type that can affect (or be affected) by abilities. Also It's not clear to me how the damage calculation works, the OP only mentioned what follows: 

(Power of the move * the attack stage (and any attack changes)) / (Enemy Defence stage * any defence stages) The outcome is damage done.

 

I assumed that attack stage is the percentage divided by 100 (so for example a pokémon with 0 atck will have a 100% and won't increase/decrease stats since it'll get a x1) but that "any defence stages" is what I don't understand, also are weaknesses and resistances ignored so that every pokémon has an equal possibility to win or what ?

Its any defence changes. And all weaknesses and Resistances exist, there would be no point in types otherwise.

Confusion being psychic is a good idea, sleep is considered grass type.

so let's say I use Doom Desidre on Diancie, it'll be hit (in 2 turns) by 48*STAB/1(no defense bonus/malus)*4 ? that is kinda broken :v
