Monocolor!

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)

Strategy
  • 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.
and more, come explore!

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.

screens deo + 5 setup. double dance duo of latias + gmolt can win games. triple LO for max dmg output.

i like this team. chose scarf hamu bc team would be quite slow otherwise, though sash/something else is viable too. mbeam glimm is funny and ensures team is not passive. oger, lati, mana are the main setup guys

ninetales + solar beam bolt duo is fire. if bolt gets too low cuz of LO you always have the option hwish it to full health

i wanted to build a rilla lucha comfey team but i was bored of taking the HO route. instead went ahead with specs pult + band rilla. ttar is the rocker and main fire answer. NP apple + torn is a nice regen breaking core, tb fairy torn is amazing. sinist wins games too

black doesnt rly have many good options, but rai + gambit is big. the gambit is tb fairy so my other darks (rai and weav) ideally shouldnt rely on tera to break. NP LO rai + CB weav looked perfect. the rest of the team is just cplay vs fightings/fairies, tho cmsp necro should be a pretty good wincon
 
Tier sounds really fun, tried to build a few teams

Someone had to do it...

On another note white sounds pretty good, screen availability, Valiant and Moth great coverage should be pretty good in such a format

I bet light clay is gonna be the next ban, screens seems very hard to play against
