It's no longer being updated, but here it is: http://monotypeps.weebly.com/matchup-tables.htmlThere used to be a chart with the winrates for each type against each other type. Can someone link me that?

Thanks, but why isn't it being updated? it was pretty useful to figure out the type matchups it approximate what the top types areIt's no longer being updated, but here it is: http://monotypeps.weebly.com/matchup-tables.html
I moved the monotype stats page off the weebly (it was a nightmare to maintain). I planned to port the matchup tables and trends sections over to the new site, but just haven't gotten around to it. You're not the first person to ask about it. I'll try to prioritize it.Thanks, but why isn't it being updated? it was pretty useful to figure out the type matchups it approximate what the top types are
Defensive togekiss works well, but with babiri Berry its great to catch the opponent off guard. The real struggle in the mu is beating scarf and priority and fast STAB steel attacks. So the trouble comes from obviously mega scizor, and scarf magnezone and excadrill, which are both immune to para so klefki can't cripple them. So catching either off guard with a babiri Berry and a fireblast is useful. Same with defensive clefable, unaware with flame helps against scizor as well. I wouldn't completely rule out granbull either, being the only fairy mon with a fire and ground move combo,along with intimidate.Was j wondering if the best play for fairy v steel is clicking x or if something can break down steel alongside bdrum azu (i like running more defensive toge)
thanks a lot, gonna have to figure out what combination of moves will work best on toge (j has so many utility moves lol) and if unaware will be better than cm magic guard clef. will probably try out granbull too, thanks again!Defensive togekiss works well, but with babiri Berry its great to catch the opponent off guard.

run bd azu with enough speed to outspeed skarm. set up screens with klef and it should sweep (if you dont know the scizor spread its best to waterfall since you survive bp anyway and +6 kos defensive spreads). the reason to creep skarm is its easier to survive rocky helm + bisharp sucker + scizor bp than a brave bird from skarm (+6 waterfall kos after you break sturdy)and toge with fire blast and aura sphere can help since it can hit everything seWas j wondering if the best play for fairy v steel is clicking x or if something can break down steel alongside bdrum azu (i like running more defensive toge)
Just wanted to clarify, the reason you want to outspeed skarm is so u can kill it with a +6 knock off or superpower, since waterfall is not run on the BD set. Aqua and play rough dont 1hk0 with +6.run bd azu with enough speed to outspeed skarm. set up screens with klef and it should sweep (if you dont know the scizor spread its best to waterfall since you survive bp anyway and +6 kos defensive spreads). the reason to creep skarm is its easier to survive rocky helm + bisharp sucker + scizor bp than a brave bird from skarm (+6 waterfall kos after you break sturdy)and toge with fire blast and aura sphere can help since it can hit everything se
if your ever in doubt just try to replicate what bushtush did once :^)

lol not really a simple question, if ur looking forward to an answer I suggest adding some specifics. Such as adding a certain type of mon you want to see, a physically defensive mon or specially defensive one? Do you want it to be just a wall, or a cleric, so its team role. However, to answer somewhat thinking off the top of my head, some defensive pokemon that are rarely seen are florges, claydol, bastiodon, alomomola, blissey, meganium, mantine, donphan, deoxys defense, and so on. These pokemon in monotype are either outclassed by another, or they fit on one specific type of team. But ig since you are asking about them being rarely seen, that would be irrelevant, but just a heads up. If you want more info, i suggest looking at the VR for monotype, and looking through the pokemon that are ranked C or lower (usually means they are rarely used), and seeing if they fit your definition of a defensive pokemon.hi What is a defensive monotype Pokemon rarely seen in play? Thank you...!
This isn't the thread to discuss something like that. Really, you're all representing us to the greater Smogon community. Any decisions on this ultimately lie with the leaders of the site.Are the monotype representatives working on categorising our " regular" Monotype tier as and into, the ORAS singles category?
well on monoground at least, I love physically defensive torterra. leech seed protect seed bomb eq. Use it on all my balanced ground teams.hi What is a defensive monotype Pokemon rarely seen in play? Thank you...!
As well as what miyoka said, you can always search a name here http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/Thanks everybody started getting into it and actually doing quite okay :D
Just got one stupid question left: Is there like a replay collection ? In mist tournament threads its said that they should post the replay together with the win/loss report but I never find the links ._.
I'd just like to see some of the good players playing and like which teams they ate using and stuff but yeah can't find anything D:
We used to have a proper replay collection but it was difficult getting good replays and not getting bad ones, not to mention keeping it up to date when things were banned etc.Thanks everybody started getting into it and actually doing quite okay :D

Hi, welcome to Smogon! This isn't the best way to get your team rated as we do not know your thought process behind why you chose the Pokemon in your team, nor do we know about the threats which your team fails to handle. However, you can make a thread in the Rate My Team forum, with the proper format. Team Showcase has some very well done RMTs which you should check out to get an idea of how an RMT looks like.Hey there. I have been setting up an all water team based on pokemon that give me nostalgia and pokemon I just like overall. While I don't plan on playing competitively, I do plan on battling occasionally and I wanted to atleast have a competitive players advice before choosing the final team member. So far the team goes:
Swampert (Adamant/Torrent) Moveset: Waterfall, Earthquake, Power Up Punch, Rain Dance
Gyarados (Jolly/Intimidate) Moveset: Aqua Tail, Ice Fang, Earthquake, Dragon Dance
Milotic (Modest/Marvel Scale) Moveset: Surf, Ice Beam, Toxic, Recover
Tentacruel (Timid/Liquid Ooze) Moveset: Toxic Spikes, Slude Bomb, Ice Beam, Scald
Kingdra (Modest/Swift Swim) Moveset: Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, Ice Beam, Scald
The last slot is a toss up between Jellicent or Azumarill. Both movesets would look like:
Jellicent (Bold/Water Absorb) Moveset: Will-o-Wisp, Hex, Recover, Scald
Azumarill (Modest/Huge Power) Moveset: Waterfall, Play Rough, Aqua Jet, Superpower
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
Thank you so much! You helped immensely! I will check out the RMT forums and search around the site more. Thank you :DHi, welcome to Smogon!

I can see a few major flaws with your team. Since you're planning on using a Swift Swim team (judging from the Swampert and Kingdra), I highly recommend Politoed over Milotic. Milotic is very passive and useless in most matchups, while Politoed has the ability to summon rain whenever it joins the battle. Besides that, you can run Stealth Rock over Rain Dance on Swampert as Politoed does the job anyway and chip damage throughout the battle is usually very helpful. Finally, for the last member, I would definitely recommend Azumarill, however, Modest isn't a good ability for Azumarill at all as it lowers its Attack stat and increases its Special Attack, which is redundant. I would suggest running Adamant nature instead, to let it hit as strong as it can.
Hope I helped and good luck with the team!
