Metagame Monocolor

So after being dead weight on community I decided to do something for it. The following is the first chapter of my book mono coloris a complete guide to mono colours. I am currently working on the rest of chapters but it would take me a lot of time so I decided to upload it chapter by chapter after all 10 chapters are created they would be compiled in a single msg with additional information. Till then enjoy ;)











MONO COLORIS

A guide to mono colours


VOLUME 1 CHAPTER 1

RED

IT'S RAININ BLOOD



S tiers

:Zamazenta:

Job description

in the sea of red sweepers who aren't afraid to spill some blood it act as a defense mon which is really fast and also do good damage. Basically there is nothing it can't do


Body press + iron defense

This set never gets old and zamma gets stab on body press + really high defense + free def boost basically after factoring everything it does more than close combat but the drawback being that you had to sweep at once cuz due to gen 9 nerf it only gets one boost. It would also run roar to get rid of setup sweepers and unfavorable matchups

Howl boost

This sets use howl to boost attack and then sweep with its physical move pool which includes but not limited to
-Close combat
-crunch
-heavy slam
-elemental fangs

Tera recommendation: Dark/Fighting

:Deoxys-speed:

Job description

Sucide bomber

It is the sucide lead of choice for red users you want hazards? It can do that you want screens ? It can do that you wanto punish other sucide or hazards lead? Taunt would get the job done


In term's of set this pokemon would always run screens last move warries between
-taunt
-stealth rocks
-psycho boost

Tera recommendation : ghost

A tiers

:Latias:

Job description

Bulky sweeper

Weakness policy
Yeah, this thing has only one set which is kinda cheesy as it uses weakness policy combined with its natural bulk to create a monster. It's 110 speed make it fast and if wp gets activated (which it would cuz u-turn and knock off are really common) then it's a monster some other moves it runs are
-draning kiss cuz recovery
-stored power
- calm mind ( to boost the fuck out of it)

Tera recommendations
Fairy no question asked

:Scizor:

Job description: priority go burrr


Classic sd

The set that made scizor a monster in gen 4 sword dance to boost attack it would run knock off and close combat although these 2 moves are generally changeable, and can't forgot bullet punch. Good luck surviving +2 technician boosted Tera boosted priority bullet punch

Band
The set pretty much remains the same with u turn instead of sd. This set trades sweep potential with more initial power . Scizor is the best revenge killer in general but this set boosts it's revenge killing power

Tera recommendation: steel

:Moltres-galar:
Job description :sweeper


Double set up
This mon would generally run both agility and nasty plot at same time combined with dual stab in form of hurricane and fiery wrath. It would run sitrus berry as it complements it's ability beserk.

Tera recommendation: ghost

:Blaziken:
Job description: death,the destroyer of gen 5 ou

Ah ,Whom am i kidding everyone knows

Speed boost+
sd + protect
Close combat
Flare blitz
Ggs

For item it would run sitrus berry cuz healling

Tera recommendation: fire/fighting

:Skeledirge:
Job description : sweep breaker/reverse sweeper

Unaware stops sweeper for item I like boots cuz 25 percent ever time you switch in is a lot for a defensive mon. Shadow ball for stab and a coverage move generally fairy type
Now let's address the crocodile in the room torch song, which gives it a +1 spa every time it use it. The only thing keeping this monster in check is its bad speed cuz crocodiles can't run very fast

Tera recommendation: fairy

:Rotom:
Job description :utility mon

This mon got utility belt like Batman
Pain split, t wave, Willow wisp it got it all now rotom wash is better than the other forms
Which Are much more team specific and changeable according to team needs. Except rottom fan that guy is literally trash (Or may I say i am not a big fan;)

Tera recommendation: grass


Creator's note: I wanted to talk about some other mons but they are not Relevant enough although they might be added when complete book comes out
Until then, good bye
