Plat spirits for season 2, did it in under 100 games. I tried out a lot of types cause I wanted to use different types for each 100 elo ranges.
For 1000-1100 I used rock which actually was better than I thought it would be so I also used it a bit till 1200. Having sand and spikes plus full team sand immunity was nice.
1100-1200 I used rock and fire, and man fire is awful. Insta loss to DD Tar unless you have blaziken already out. Honestly the only saving grace for fire mono is you can run blaziken as a reversal sweeper.
1200-1300 I used Flying, which was actually way worse than I thought it would be. I figured with 6 ou mons and spikes immunity it would’ve been ok but playing around Zapdos and DD Tar was miserable.
1300-1400 I used fighting which conversely was much better than I thought it would be. Even worse mons like machamp hit like a truck. That said you literally get 6-0’d by banded Mence with the only way to survive the hit being focus band lmao. DD Mence also easily sweeps but a lot of people didn’t realize I was mono fighting and let me kill it before they used DD.
1400-1500 I used Water which is what I used for season 1. Water is for sure a top 2 mono with only maybe Psychic being better. Access to spikes, rain, being able to have swampert and ludicolo to cover water’s only 2 weaknesses. Also I love that counter works on hp grass to eliminate zapdos. (Which I actually only learned during this run lol)
1500-1600 was Psychic, and damn this mono was good. No spikes access but so many excellent mons and access to rapid spin. I used a celebi cm pass team with mixed meta for shambles cores and sub salac medicham. Jinx lead is disgusting honestly and often makes people play bad immediately cause of the fear of being slept. A lot of people tried bringing in their blissey to absorb it but Jinx easily sets up on blissey if sleep is available. Also a single cm pass to stamie can win a lot of games which is nuts. Only issue with psychic is that lum Dd tar can straight up end you if you aren’t careful, but honestly it didn’t happen much.
