"Blah blah blah survival of the fittest, blah blah blah natural selection blah blah blah" ~ Charles Darwin
This weeks challenge is 'Natural Selection'. What ever could that mean. Well let me tell you sir or madame or whateveritisyougoby. There are two rules we have set out for this week. First no pokemon may use their hidden abilities. Second. Pokemon may not have moves they learn EXCLUSIVELY through TM. (If they learn it through level up as well, it's good). We like our pokemon all organic round these parts ya hear? I feel I need to stress it this week greatly. Please share your teams with your fellow nation members and review them multiple times to make sure that they are valid. No second chances if you give a pokemon an invalid move!

LEADERS: Please send me your SEVEN participants and THREE substitutes as soon as you are able. Once I have the contestants for all 6 nations, matchups will be randomized and posted here. To Victory!
DISCLAIMERS:
1. If a pokemon learns a move through TM but also through level up, or event, it IS ok.
2. Moves that are only learnable via TM from previous generations are not allowed. With the exception of Defog which is allowed.
I'm sure there'll be more here as you guys think of things we did not. So please continue to check back.
3. Gen 2 Move Tutor moves aren't permitted as the pokemon can't be passed up in the actual game from that point.
