How would you change this team to not get walled by Water Absorb Clodsire? I've lost the Ground matchup a couple times because I can't touch it. As it stands, my options are Banded Ceaseless Edge, and Tricking a scarf on to it. https://pokepast.es/991a876ed41b540d Sub+NP Rotom rolls it, but...

You always come in clutch with detailed explanations of the metagame, thanks! It's really helpful as a new player. I guess I was biased in my impression of Poison because I play play Dragon mostly, and as you mentioned, Dragonite/Baxcalibur pretty much dismantles any Poison team after one DD...

Why is Poison never mentioned in discussions of the worst type this gen? It seems completely unplayable every time I face it, even with stuff like Balloon Sneasler to prevent a strong Earthquake user from just 6-0'ing. I guess Grass and Ice are even worse?

Not sure if this is the right place for a "rate my team" type post, but I don't see a better thread. I've been playing the bulky Water team posted here as my first Monotype team, as well as this Dragon team I threw together: https://pokepast.es/63448c75dcfda546 I lifted most of the EV spreads...

Yeah this was super helpful, thank you! I really like the look of the first team with Samurott-H

Has anyone experimented with bulky water teams? Most water teams I see seem very offensive. I like the idea of Pex/Slowking and a bulky Boots Quaquaval as the core of a team

I like the idea of playing on cart, but yeah I would probably just play Showdown ladder. Thanks, I'll whip up a Steel team and get to it then!

Is getting into competitive Pokemon with Monotype a mistake? I'm not a big fan of Tera as a mechanic, so a format where it's banned seems very appealing, but I've literally never done any competitive battling before
