Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You can use any move or command that uses up more energy than you have unless otherwise stated (such as Endure). In my case, I just divide how much energy you have with the actual energy cost and KO the user (for damaging moves).
As U-Boat growls ominously at Wilde, the Grovyle launches himself at the Colosshale for one final desperation attack. With all his might, Wilde manages to rip off a significant chunk of health from U-Boat before succumbing to fatigue.
Action 1
-Colosshale used Snarl!
To hit (<=9500): 576 (Yes)
To critical (<=625): 9075 (No)
Damage: 10.5
Energy: -4
Grovyle's Special Attack fell to -1!
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by this? There's nothing codified as far as I know for a Pokemon using a command that uses up more energy than they have with exception of specific circumstances like Endure. So basically, I just interpreted it in the best way possible - dividing whatever energy they had against how much energy is needed to pull off the attack.
Although your way of calculating damage makes the most sense, I too was under the impression that the attack did all of its intended damage. I would say let the Endeavor do all of its damage, if only to speed this match up. (It has been a month already...)
In that case, I'll allow the Endeavor last round to hit for full power (and by extension, any action that uses up more energy than the user has). Will this be okay with you two?

I hope I didn't come off too sour there, but it was the difference between definite loss and possible victory.
Giga Drain ~ Signal Beam ~ Giga Drain If Colosshale uses Bounce, Fly that action and push back.
If Colosshale uses Sucker Punch, Calm Mind that action and push back.
As Blyton makes her return on the field, she is greeted with a malicious snarl from U-Boat. The Woobat answers by siphoning health from the Colosshale, however her simplistic nature is starting to backfire on her. Grinning gleefully, U-Boat barks viciously at Blyton and messes up her concentration with her fluorescent beam. Expecting another snarl from U-Boat, Blyton is caught off guard when U-Boat leaps out of the water and chomps down with his large maw. Nevertheless, she uses the close proximity to drain out more life from her foe. Now, Blyton is feeling faint and light headed, yet U-Boat isn't in much better shape.

Damage: 5
Energy: -12
Drained health from Colosshale! (+2.5 HP)
Damage taken:
Colosshale: 8.5 from A1 + 5 from A2 + 5 from A3 = 18.5 ~ 19
Woobat: 11.5 from A1 + 15.75 from A2 + 11 from A3 = 38.25 ~ 38
Energy used:
Colosshale: 8 from A1 + 12 from A2 + 3 from A3 = 23
Woobat: 12 from A1 + 6 from A2 + 12 from A3 = 30
Yep, you're right Alch - Simple doubles the actual stat. However, Woobat's ability description is outdated. Be sure to amend that if you haven't done so already.
As Blyton flies in furiously with all her might, U-Boat catches the Woobat in his maws and chews out the last of her vitality. Lockdown is this match's winner!
