Challenge The Berry Challenge- Teambuilding / Game Play / Fronteir Battles

For each Pokemon nature, there is a liked and disliked flavour. Start with one mon, give it a berry that matches its liked flavour. This will be the only held item that mon can use until is is consumed, stolen or knocked off. The next mon must have a nature with a liked flavour that is the same as the previous' disliked flavour. E.g. first mon is adamant, which likes spicy and dislikes dry. The next pokemon must have a nature that likes dry, e.g. rash. Rash dislike bitter so the next Pokemon must have a nature that likes bitter.
Spicy = Cheri = Lonely, Brave, Adamant, Lonely
Dry = Chesto = Modest, Mild, Quiet, Rash
Sweet = Pecha = Timid, Hasty, Jolly, Naive
Bitter = Rawst = Calm, Gentle, Sassy, Careful
Sour = Aspear = Bold, Relaxed, Impish, Lax
Natures with no preference (hardy, docile etc) are allowed to use any berry (Cheri, Lum, Persim, Sitrus, Salac, etc).

This is an add on challenge to make any fronteir battle or game play more challenging.

Battle Fronteir
Achieve longest streak possible with the above team building conditions. You can change items by using trick, thief etc. Every seven battles, once you've received your battle points for the round, you are allowed to equip a new item to any pokemon that has lost its berry, but only if you have either stolen it or knocked it off an opponent. Pokemon can be subbed in and out, as long as they fit in with the above teambuilding requirements and must start with their berry until it is consumed. Moves may also be changed every seven rounds.

During game play
For a Nuzlocke adaptation of this challenge, the above rules apply, but when your pokemon consumes its berry, the mon is not allowed to be taken to the pokemon centre or have any items used on it.
If your pokemon loses its berry, it can only be healed if does anything listed below before fainting or running out of pp:
Steals any held item from an opponent which is used until used/knocked off again;
Knocks off an opponents held item. You can then give the item you knocked off to any pokemon in your team;
Receives an item through trick, either from opponent or ally in either singles or doubles;

Tips and tricks
Moves that remove items are essential
Make use of type immunities (fire, earth, poison, steal) and abilities (insomnia, limber, immunity, water veil, magma armor, sticky hold)
Catch pokemon with desired natures using pokeblocks in the safari zone
Natural gift, recycle, safe guard, magic coat
 
Attempt 1- lv50 doubles
Salamence, jolly, pecha berry
Alakazam, modest, chesto berry
Kingdra, lonely, cheri berry
Hariyama, impish, aspear berry

The item clause stops me from using 2 adamant natured mons. Alakazam has trick, Hariyama has knock off. Salamence and Alakazam lead.
#1- v.s. Cubone, Larvitar, Geodude, Mankey. All get 1HKOd.
#2- v.s Sandshrew, Omanyte, Shellder, Geodude. Defeated.
#3- v.s Horsea, Omanyte, Staryu, Shellder. Defeated.
#4- v.s Omanyte, Delibird, Snubbul, Sentret. All get 1HKOd.
#5- v.s Oddish, Gulpin, Zubat, Shuppet. All get 1HKOd.
#6- v.s Geodude, Natu, Baltoy, Oddish. Defeated.
#7- v.s Sudowoodo, Primape, Solrock, Stantler. Defeated.

#8- v.s Torkoal, Lairon, Cacturn, Hitmonchan. Hitmonchan's kings rock was knocked off, leaving it available for a mon of mine which has used it's berry. Defated.
#9- v.s Delicaty, Zangoose, Keckleon, Hitmonchan. Defeated.
#10- v.s Chansey, Raticate. Tricked Chansey, Alakazam now has a sitrus berry next round. Pidgeot, Plusle. Defeated.
#11- v.s Tyrogue, Teddiursa, Larvitar, Jigglypuff. Defeated.
#12- v.s. Shellder, Phanpy, Totodile, Psyduck. Defeated.
#13- v.s Clampearl, Lombre, Spinda, Corphish. Defeated.
#14- v.s Sableye, Lickatounge, Roselia, Ivysaur. Roselia's quick claw activated and hit Salamence with sludge bomb and poisoned it. Salamence now has no item for the next round but since Hariyama knocked off a kings rock, this item is available for Salamence.

Next round Salamence will have a kings rock and Alakazam will have a sitrus berry. Kingdra still has a cheri berry which is helpful, but Hariyama will have a hard time losing its aspear berry. It's knock off will still be valuable.

#15- v.s Ninjask, Scyther. Hariyama knocks off Scyther's brightpowder, leaving available for one of my mons without a berry. Illumise, Masquerain. Hariyama knocks off Illumise's leichi berry, leaving it available. Too bad I don't have this item in this save. Hariyama knocks off Masquerain's lax incense, leaving it available. Kingdra's Cheri berry was consumed after Masquerain's stun spore, leaving without a berry next round. Defeated.
#16- v.s Porygon, Lairon, Swellow, Persian. Defeated.
#17- v.s Linoone, Delcatty. Linoone tricked Salamence, giving it a choice band. Salamence now has this item next round. Venomoth, Gorebyss. Defeated.

#31- v.s Houndoom, Gardevoir. Salamence crits Houndoom with rock slide and hits Gardevoir. Alakazam sets up light screen. Magmar is subbed in. Killed by rocks. Aerodactyl subbed in but dies quick. Defeated.

#38- v.s Hariyama (hello friend), Ludicolu. Hariyama gets the QC and nearly KO's Salamence with ice punch. Alakazam KO's Hariyama. Salamence KO's Ludoculo. Dusclops and Skarmory are subbed in. For future reference, Dusclops survives a psychic and CB AA. Defeated.
#39- Cradily, Flygon. Hariyama tanks a dragon claw. Whishcash gets subbed in but was no match for a crit psychic. Cradily solar beams Alakazam. Marowak is subbed in. Defeated.
#40- Metagross, Milotic. Salamence KO's Metagross with EQ, does 60% to milotic before being ice beamed and only 30% to Hariyama. Starmie. Milotic dies. Umbreon is subbed in. Kingdra gets the speed boost from Starmie's rain, but Hariyama is KO'd by hydropump. Starmie kills Alakazam. Kingdra kills Starmie. I lose to curse, DT, double edge umbreon.

Umbreon is dangerous, especially when Salamence is faced against water types. Kingdra is my Starmie defense but cannot get past Umbreon. Hariyama needs max spD to tank hits from Milotic and a better move against psychics. Mono attacking Alakazam is good but is checked by dark types like Umbreon.
