Barebones Round The Last [Won by Agammemnon]

Welcome one and all to the first (hopefully!) annual Barebones Pokémon Tournament. I am sure many of you have played in tournaments all across Smogon. This is no ordinary Pokémon tournament, however. There are special rules in place that each and every one of you must abide by in order to advance to the next round. These rules are meant to make the feat of winning a battle more challenging and hopefully, more fun! The afformentioned rules are:

• No items may be used on any Pokémon.
• No EVs may be given to any Pokémon.
• Each Pokémon must have a NEUTRAL nature. This means your Pokémon may only run Serious, Docile, Bashful, Quirky or Hardy natures.

Other than that, ANYTHING goes, barring the clauses below are followed. Good luck to all of you and lets see who can be the strongest trainer!
