Going by Natural movesets only and no Mega Evolutions, i actually think Chesnaught of all 'mons takes this.

First off; Venusaur and Meganium are utterly useless here. Their powder moves do nothing (since we're looking at ONLY grass-types here, and Grass-types are immune to powders), and they have no means of hitting any other combatants hard otherwise, their strongest moves respectively being Meganium's Body Slam and Venusaur's Take Down.

Next to go is Torterra, for obvious reasons- Torterra's Ground-typing works against it here as it doesn't resist the other combatants' Grass-type moves, and it doesn't have ANYTHING to hit Chesnaught with, at all. And, while it can set up with Curse, Chesnaught can set up with Bulk Up and Serperior with Coil (or Leaf Storm).

Speaking of Serperior, what really ruins it here is the poor movepool. If Serperior learned a SINGLE special move that ISN'T Grass-type, Serperior would have been the easy choice for a winner here, simply by setting up by using Leaf Storm on Torterra with Contrary, then laying into the rest with its amplified Special Attack. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Last we have Sceptile. If Chesnaught were to fall, it would be Sceptile who would win due to being able to hit the other 'mons effectively, but unfortunately Chesnaught's superior bulk and counter to physical attacks (which is ALL of Sceptile's non-grass moves) means Sceptile can't quite break through Chesnaught. And if Chesnaught has a few Bulk Ups down? Nothing can stop him. On top of that, Chesnaught can heal itself when low via Pain Split.
