Welcome to the Monotype Sets Compendium. This resource aims to provide newer players with an in-depth collection of the most optimal sets for Pokemon that are considered to be viable in the current metagame, We hope this resource will be able to enhance your building skills. The content of the pastes will update regularly once viable sets and pokemons arises.

important note: There might be some weird looking HP values and Speed Benchmarks at first sight so i will explain what those are about

HP:

For Leftovers numbers generally you want to hit a number divisible by 16+1 if possible, if not possible a number divisible by 16 is second best, if none of the above is not possible just keep it an ODD number so the mon wont be KOed by Sthealth Rocks or Spikes, IE: Great Tusk 248 HP will hit a number divisible by 16+1 so thats the best value for them, Corviknight however max HP will be 400 which is a number divisible by 16 so that will be the second best scenario, Gliscor however wants a number divisible by 4 for the best recovery from Poison Heal so 244 HPs is best.

Speed Benchmarks:

Speed	Outspeeds
137	Uninvested base 50 Speed
171	Uninvested base 65 Speed and uninvested Corviknight
200	Invested base 50 Speed with non-Speed-boosting natures
211	Invested Crawdaunt & up to uninvested base 87 Speed
219	Outspeed Max Speed base 50s with Speed boosting nature
230	Max Speed Crawdaunt and invested base 65 Speed
241	Invested base 70 Speed and Magnezone
250	Outspeed Max Speed Modest Raging Bolt
260	Outspeed Max Speed base 80s with non-Speed-boosting nature (example you now outspeed Max Speed Adamant Mamoswine)
263	Invested base 80 Speed & max Speed base 70s
285	Base 80 max Speed and Basculegion formes
301	Base 87 max Speed
325	Max Speed Hydreigon
351	Max Speed base 110 Speed
365	Max Speed Iron Valiant
378	Max Speed Greninja
382	Max Speed Iron Boulder

Note: Choice Scarf users are usually max speed with a Jolly or Timid nature

I thought shed tail was banned ?

 

[cpt.kraken]

It seems to have been a bit rushed... Shed tail is ban, some sets are weird (scarf hpump dpult or jolly dd dnite tpunch eq) while more regular ones do not appear (like ada dd, espeed, eq, filler dnite). Not mentionning best sets of Raging Bolt are with leftovers or heavy duty boots is weird.
Also Latios soul dew and choice should be separated as soul dew can set up or heal
On ena scarf, if you slash something it's not superpower for epower but mystical fire for superpower. Epower is too important for poison and steel mons. Val physical hdb / lo don't run spirit break but koff/ssneak, zhead, cc/dpunch and mixed want a physical fighting move. No mention of hatterene nuzzle.

For general visibility put a space between 2 sets, especially between 2 different mons so it will be easier to read it

 

[Pengairxan]

I'm agreeing with Cpt here, Boomp. This does seem a bit rushed from ya.
I've stuck to my type of Poison and done additions and retractions that I believe needed to happen. (Using the original pokepaste)
https://pokepast.es/0f999c2e906ece59

Additions:
- and as they have been added to the VR
- EV spreads updated to include the 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD spread along side the 248 HP / 240 SpD / 20 Spe spread.
- was split into Boots (Surf as the main offense) and Helmet (Infestation Trapper) Sets
- split into Choice Scarf and Choice Specs (Scarf prefers U-turn while Specs prefers Overheat)
- Choice Scarf set added (Its a sample)
- gained defensive corrosion (Not sure why it was just the offensive set)
- unburden set updated (Throat chop in slot 3 and Acro/Dire for slot 4)
- Choice Specs (Its a sample as well)
Retractions:
- and as they are no longer on the VR
- Second EV Spread (In this meta, you need that bulk.)
- Choice Specs removed (Scarf is already not the best, and specs is too slow in my opinion)
- Condensed bulk up sets into one (Both sets are basically the same so simpler)
- Removed mixed bulk set (there are far better walls for mixed if you want them)
Other:
- Pokemon are now sorted by how they are on the Viability Ranking. (So first, second, third and so on.)
- Fixed spelling and spacing mistakes in the original (no more Cgoice Specs for Iron Moth)
- Added Tournament medals
- Updated the localization files

 

[Pengairxan]

It was, however I'm presuming these use the DLC1 samples pastes as a base when Shedtail was still legal.

 

[boomp]

ty ty for all the feedback shoutout pen for the poison, I just went off of the previous post as a base and went from there so ty once again made some implements. once again its not the end of the world, i can just make edits to it :D

 

[boomp]

I transfer the Comps into the original post to make it convenient for the Monotype Room link. Once again Huge Shout out to pengairxan, FadedCharm, and Scarfire for helping out, yall the goats! Another shout out to roxie for supporting me with this as well. <3

Hello, I have attempted to Tidy Up the Rock sets:
https://pokepast.es/9921ea6f235d0811
In order of the inevitable Rock VR changes

VR (speculative)

S:
A:
B:
C/D:

Additions

- and as they are on the VR
- Play Rough added as a coverage option
- Close Combat added as a coverage option on the Choice Band set
- Air Balloon set added, Mortal Spin added as an option on the Choice Scarf set
- Sp Def and Assault Vest sets added
- Counter added as an option
- EVs/Nature added
- U-Turn added as an option

Retractions

- not added as it will likely drop from VR
- Trailblaze and Substitute are usually not worth dropping coverage
- Choice Specs and Focus Sash sets removed
- Smooth Rock is banned

Implemented ty my fellow rock nation member! added b press on coal, You want to deal with gambit and pao respectfully in the 1v1 + nice on a predicted heatran switch. Specs on glimmora as well, rock sample team has Specs Glimmora. Took off Counter as an option next to fire punch on Rhyperior. You never want to opt out of Fire punch due to Scizor being a problem. everything else i kept ty and well done <3

 

[boomp]

Sorry for my question, but wouldn’t also be a good idea to include a pivot galarian slowking moveset?

 

[boomp]

Sorry for my question, but wouldn’t also be a good idea to include a pivot galarian slowking moveset?

Heyy dont apologize for asking questions i encourage people to talk! IMO I feel like you wouldnt want to pivot on poison especially not with chilly reception, Pao and friends are already a problem for poison so just adding snow for them is just making your match way more harder. Glowking also just like av to be able to tank more special hits for the team like CM Raging Bolt, Latias and hey even lando-i and just revenge kill it with ice beam. If you have a set in mind please share it with me :D In my opinion as well poison is already a slow defensive typing/playstyle pivoting is its least concern.

 

[Pengairxan]

Sorry for my question, but wouldn’t also be a good idea to include a pivot galarian slowking moveset?

It likely would, but I am not a user of Pivot Glowking. And there has never been a demand for a sample set for it.
And on Poison, there really isn't a need for a Slow bulky pivot as much. You've already got several otherwalls with Regenerator most likely in Toxapex and Amoonguss and you would either be switching Glowking into them or into one of the immunities like AMuk or Geezing which gives Chilly reception less value in my eyes.
Now I know I'm saying this when Pecharunt is also in the sample sets but Pecharunt's pivoting tool is vastly superior and its speed stat is somewhat reasonable being able to weaken stuff like defensive Heatran, Shell Smash Torterra (even without speed investment you are 1 point faster than the 252 Adamant turtle) along with forcing Hatterene to switch out if it gets a few too many boosts for AMuk to comfortably handle.
All Glowking does is set Snow so Baxcalibur can live Close Combat.

 

[insertkoin]

Thank you both for explaining it to me, now I get it!

 

[boomp]

Took off Bax sets on Dragon and Ice due to it being banned!

 

[boomp]

[eisenkrieger]

Sorry if I'm missing something (I'm just now coming back to monotype after a year or so long absence) but the fighting set comp still includes several sets for the now-banned Zamazenta.
