The Monotype metagame is, exactly as the name implies, a meta where you must build a team with each Pokemon sharing a common type. Think Gym Leaders and Elite Four from the cartridge games. This presents some unique challenges, and opportunities, from a team-building perspective that is sure to test even the most seasoned veterans. The Monotype Room's website contains many helpful resources for new players including usage stats, sample teams, type matchup info, and metagame trends/type analyses. You can also check out the banlist, discussion thread, or resources thread on Smogon for additional information.
Tournament Rules:
- Best of 1, Single Elimination
- You may switch the type of your team between rounds.
- Both single and dual-typed Pokémon are allowed. The shared type does not have to be the Pokemon's primary type.
- In the case of Mega Evolutions, the typing of the regular form of the Pokémon is what counts. For example, Gyarados is a Water/Flying type, so even though Mega Gyarados is Water/Dark it can still be used on a Flying team. Following the same rule, Mega Gyarados cannot be used on a Dark team because regular Gyarados is not Dark type.
- Matches are to be played in Monotype on the PS! main server. If your team is legal on the Monotype ladder at the time of this post, it is legal in this tournament.
- General Tournament Guidelines apply.
