re: UU Monotype

UU Monotype is an OM Based on the usage of the Monotype Ladder that doesn't allow Pokémon due to high usage in similar vein to usage-based tiers like OU, UU, and RU. This would mean certain Pokémon like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Gouging Fire with high usage on the SV Monotype ladder would not be allowed. A resource document has been developed to outline the Pokemon not allowed by typing. Feuille 1 shows specifically the Pokemon that are banned in this metagame while Feuille 2 compiles a list of Pokemon allowed with a preliminary VR. This has also been categorized by typing thanks to Fírnen. We are currently running tournaments daily in the room and recording teams and data in the Monotype OM Discord to help develop this OM, so please join if you are interested: https://discord.gg/7HcVDray7s

:ss/darkrai:

Darkrai @ Blunder Policy
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
- Hypnosis

Darkrai @ Focus Sash
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
- Focus Blast

:darkrai: Darkrai benefits in a metagame where its not overshadowed by prominent Dark-types like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Meowscarada. Although Dark Void received a nerf from 80% accuracy to 50%, Darkrai has access to an alternative option in Hypnosis. Darkrai benefits from Hypnosis by inflicting Pokémon by 15.% (100 HP/8) damage for each turn that Pokémon stays asleep in front of Darkrai. With a high-speed tier, special attack, and access to Nasty Plot this Pokémon on paper can be a threatening special breaker. The council will be looking at this Pokémon more closely.

:ss/zamazenta:

Zamazenta @ Choice Band
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 8 HP / 216 Atk / 32 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Heavy Slam
- Ice Fang
- Crunch

Zamazenta @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Substitute
- Ice Fang / Heavy Slam / Crunch

:zamazenta: Zamazenta's incredible bulk allows it to tank a Moonblast from UU Monotype's most prominent Fairy-type, Enamorus. It's incredible speed, high Attack, and Speed stat make it stick out like a sore thumb. With many of Zamazenta's checks such as Gholdengo, Sableye, and GOD-Flutter Mane not being allowed, this makes Zamazenta an even more overbearing and customizable force in this metagame. The council has voted to ban this Pokémon.

:ss/espathra:
Espathra @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Dazzling Gleam
- Roost

:espathra: Espathra has access to Speed Boost and with the plethora of more viable Pokemon like Latios and Hoopa-Unbound not being allowed, it naturally makes Esparthra better. Light Clay + Screens Deoxys-Speed is a great supportive teammate and with Heavy-Duty Boots, Espathra isn't nuked by hazards since Psychic doesn't have Hatterene anymore. Stored Power + Speed Boost + Calm Mind is a great combination any Psychic type wishes for as it practically still beats opposing Pokemon attempting to se long-term such as Clefable and Unaware users like Dondozo,

:ss/spectrier:
Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Draining Kiss

Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 40 HP / 124 Def / 144 SpA / 200 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex

:spectrier: Spectrier is a speedy Ghost-type that notably has Grim Neigh which rewards itself with a Special Boost when it secures KOes. Spectrier also has good utility in Substitute which allows it to dodge status conditions, setup in Calm Mind or Nasty Plot, and Will-O-Wisp + Hex. Overall this Pokémon on paper can be pretty dangerous in this metagame so we will be keeping a close eye on it.
