What is BW Monotype?
BW stands for Black and White also known as Generation 5. Monotype is when all six of your Pokemon share the exact same type. EX: Politoed, Vaporeon, Cloyster, Keldeo, Swampert, Lanturn this would be acceptable for a Water Monotype. Dual typing are allowed for example Garchomp can be used on both Dragon and Ground teams. This metagame had its own ladder and is the original Monotype metagame.
