not quite too old for this, apparently
Another endless battle loop was already found, even after Heal Pulse was banned. This one takes advantage of the fact that if you fling a berry, it activates the effect. It's essentially the same as the Trick + Leppa + harvest shenanigans.
This brings up my point: why are we bothering with this cat and mouse game? Leppa Berry is not a recommended item choice on any set, and its utility is EXTREMELY marginal. Any Pokemon that you would think could use Leppa Berry much prefers having an item (Ho-oh and Entei the two examples that came up).
I think it's in our best interest to simplify endless battle clause to just a Leppa Berry and Heal Pulse ban. That way you can no longer either replenish your opponent's PP or their HP, keeping an endless battle from happening in the first place.
