Monocolor has a simple premise: It is a metagame where each team must consist of Pokemon that all share the same official Pokedex color. The list of all Pokemon sorted by their color can be found here: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_by_color (Look at HOME color—that's the one PS Dex uses)

- Blue has access to great offense staples in Glimmora, Ninetales-A, and Samurott-H. Ogerpon-W is the star Pokemon, taking full advantage of the support and options available.
- Brown offers a wide range defensive options in Garganacl, Ting-Lu, and Landorus-T as well as a crucial offensive presence in Dragonite. Similarly, purple too gets access to amazing defensive/utility options and hazard control in Great Tusk, Corviknight, Pecharunt, and Gliscor.
- Fan of Big Stall? Use Pink! Blissey, Alomomola, Clefable, Hatterene, Slowking-G, Milotic, Tinkaton... you have it all.
FAQs
Q: What about different formes of the same Pokemon?
A: They may be of different colors. For instance, Ninetales is yellow, but Alolan Ninetales is blue.
Q: Is Terastallization legal?
A: Yes.
Q: Why are Archaludon and Volcarona unbanned?
A: Archaludon has no easy way to take advantage of its signature Electro Shot, as White doesn't have much support to offer to Archaludon. Volcarona, similarly, is kind of held back on White, though it's quite a controversial Pokemon. These bans took place before Monocolor was a UM—when it was a solomod. The council will keep an eye on these two to see if they're banworthy.
