DP: The death of monoteam challenges?

[Deck Knight]

I know this is just a fun aside from ordinary games, but DP's limited pokemon base before the E4 seems to preclude some types from having any kind of mono-team.

Normal:

Too many to count.

Grass:

Torterra, Roserade, Wormadam(Grass), Abomasnow, Cherrim, and Carnivine.

OK, this is fine.

Fire:

Infernape, Rapidash ... Yeah, thats it.

Water:

Already has too many.

Electric:

Luxray, Pachirisu, Raichu.

Ice:

Sneasel, Abomasnow ...

Poison:

Crobat, Roserade, Dorapion, Skuntank, Tentacruel, Toxicroak. Poison is spoken for at least.

Rock:

Rampardos/Bastoidon, Golem, Onix, Sudowoodo. Meh.

Ground:

Torterra, Gastrodon, Golem, Steelix, Wormadam(Ground), Whiscash, Garchomp, Hippowdon. Yeah, all set.

Psychic:

Alakazam, Girafarig, Chimecho, Bronzong, Medicham, Mr. Mime. Taken care of.

Flying:

Too many to list.

Bug:

See Flying.

Fighting: Infernape, Machamp, Medicham, Lucario, Heracross, Toxicroak. Well represented,

Ghost:

Gengar, Mismagius, Drifblim. (Ghost never has many to begin with)

Dragon:

Garchomp. (Yeah, Dragon too)

Dark:

Skuntank, Dorapion, Sneasel, Honchkrow. Pretty well set.

Steel:

Empoleon, Steelix, Bronzong, Bastiodon, Lucario, Wormadam(Steel). Well represented for once.

In any event, Fire, Electric, and Ice are pretty slim pickings for mono team challenges. What do you guys think?

"Hi, my name is Bob. I'm happy that i can transfer my pokes from R/S/E/FR/LG to D/P through Pal Park. No, it isn't Pay Pal, so i don't have to pay for anything..."

 

[DMFG]

He said before the E4, so it's still a valid point. Then again, it's still just an E4 team that will end up with random EVs so is it really that big a deal?

 

[Problem2]

This explains why the Elite 4 member who uses fire type only has two actual fire types on his team.
