I know that certain moves don't cause status effects, like toxic doesn't poison a poison type, and leech seed doesn't seed grass types. But there are some moves I'm not sure about:
Sleep Powder (grass) Can I sleep a grass type with it?
Will Will-O-Wisp burn a fire type (that doesn't have Flash Fire)?
And basically, so-on and so-forth.

Twave - does affect Electric

Thunder wave effects electric types? That's unusual, I was expecting it not to work. Ahh, well you learn something new every day... however unusual it may be.

I think I've used it against electrics in the past...

Yeah, it does work, as does secondary paralysis (ie, Thundershock can paralyze a Pikachu). I've had my Luxray paralyzed a lot in the Battle Tower.

Oh yeah, and I have a very strong feeling sleep powder effects grass types.

ALso T-wave doesn't affect grounds or Motor Drive (Electivire).

i think T-wave is nullified, but no HP is restored by volt absorb, since t-wave doesnt deal damage to absorb in the first place.

Steel and poison types have toxic immunity.

and poison types destroy toxic spikes (from my experience, may be wrong)

electrics can definitely be paralysed, even from thunderwave (maybe someone has already said this). but a pokemon with volt absorb isnt effected by thunderwave - this is a new improvement in the 4th gen, since it used to work in the 3rd gen. the only things to watch out for are: fire types cant be burnt; poison and steel types cant be poisoned; grass types cant be leech seeded. then you just have to remember other basic resistences, like electric moves not working on ground types (thunderwave included) - but something that has always bothered me is that a ground type can become paralysed from (say) a pikachu's static ability.

Yeah, that annoyed me to no end when my Sandslash got paralyzed time after time during battles with Pikachus in Pearl.
