- Naturally, the Ghost-type matchup will be one of the most difficult ones and will be unwinnable against a competent opponent in almost every case. Ghost-type teams in general have numerous threats including, but not limited to Dragapult, Spectrier, and Aegislash that can sweep Psychic-type teams at any point and on the flip side face no immediate danger.
- Even with the addition of Tapu Lele, the Dark-type matchup can be a uphill battle; Tapu Lele is constantly forced out by faster Choice Scarf users like Urshifu-S and Hydreigon, resulting in your Pokemon being sacked one after another. Setup like Bisharp and Moltres-Galar can also be difficult to play against as poorly handled turns can instantly result in a lost to one of these threats. Managing each turn well and making full use of Tapu Lele is required to have even a decent chance of winning the matchup.
- While in most cases the Water-type matchup will be smooth sailing, in the event that there is a Crawdaunt, the matchup can quickly turn downhill. Water-type teams generally have a considerable amount of support options; backed by a Crawdaunt, each U-turn, Flip Turn, or Volt Switch can easily lead to a kill. In the event that a Slowking or to a lesser extent Slowbro is also on the team, the team will face trouble breaking fast enough, resulting in Crawdaunt claiming kill after kill through Teleport support.
- Though Electric-type teams have just as many threats to deal with that you do, their offensive threats can steamroll out of control much quicker. Without a Ground-type, Regieleki under terrain can quickly OHKO one Pokemon after another without facing any risk; Zeraora clicking Plasma Fists is a problem for a similar reason, especially if banded, though this is much more manageable.
- The hyper offensive oriented style of play Bug-type teams typically have alongside the fact that Bug-type STAB will always hit at least neutrally can easily overwhelm the team. Victini and Slowking-Galar are both required to be healthy for checking Buzzwole, Heracross, and Volcarona; the fact that both Victini and Slowking-Galar are overloaded with roles in this matchup makes the situation unfavorable.
- Offensive Steel-type threats that are Aegislash and Bisharp have the potential to be very disastrous for the team. Though Slowking-Galar is able to switch into special attacking Aegislash, physical attacking variants will have no trouble KOing it along with the rest of the team. Similarly, the team has no reliable switch-in for Bisharp and requires for it to be checked offensively; careful play is required to not lose to either of these threats.

With all things considered, I believe that this team is extremely well suited towards the current Monotype metagame and has results to back it up with a fun twist that is Slowking-Galar. The team offers a strong defensive core with solid offensive options to back it up; while admittedly a few matchups will be an uphill battle, this team has the potential to win against nearly anything other than Ghost-type teams. I hope that everyone who has some sort of interest towards Monotype ends up giving this team a shot.
Wyn - one of my first friends from the Monotype community, even though I only began talking to you after basically your retirement, you've been a great influence on my life and someone who I've always looked up to as a person. You've always known how to cheer me up and I hope that you're enjoying the best of life with whatever you're busy with now
Decem - even though you're a clown a majority of times, I've had such a good time being around you. Whether it be our late night headassery, the furry anime streams, or when we're just playing mons, everything has been so enjoyable. You're one of my favorite people on my site as of now and someone i can just talk to about whatever
Floss - i barely remember how i started interacting with you, but you've become someone i can never stray away from when trying to get thoughts on a team. You're one of the people i can't stop looking up to as a teambuilder even when you bring up some of the craziest ideas
Z Strats - who knew we'd grow so close after i randomly asked you for dou advice, but i'm so glad i had done so. I can't stop talking to you about something in a daily basis whether it be about anime or if im just venting. Anyways you've become a great part of my daily life
Vaboh - my fellow zoomer with a sleep schedule just as fucked up, ive enjoyed talking to you ever since we first interacted in cpl after i choked as fuck, you've been a huge help to everything i've done in ou whether it be with teams or general knowledge, i really hope that we can meet up irl sometime
Attribute - even though i dont act like it, i really appreciate everything you've done for me when i first came into the mono community, you're a player i look up to alot even if your results dont show it, just need you to be more openly nice..
Leru - another one of the players i look up to the most, you've given me so many opportunities as a player and encouragement in more ways than you know. even though i have no idea how we started talking, i love all the clown shit you pull off regardless of what its about even when you're snaking dn
FU SHUN HA - if i had one word to describe you as id just call you a goober. the shit you do is hilarious and i just love seeing the situations you get yourself into. first time i met you during mono blt i thought you were good at mons but now LMFAO..
Waylaid - one of my first friends on ps in general and the few i met in real life, even though we don't really talk as much nowadays, i've always enjoyed your presence and hope that we can reconnect
Mateeus - even though you keep slandering me and i you, i enjoy your presence for what it is. go staravias
MetaRiolu7 - finally someone else around my age group.. i usually just have fun goofing around with you but OH MY GOD you are bad at brawl stars, anyways super nice how relaxed you are and laidback with things
Splash - thanks so much for being my tutor; i've learned so much from you and improved so much as a player, i wish you the best for the future even if you kind of just disappeared
Maple - even though you're the biggest snake i know and always keep clowning on me, you're still enjoyable to be around. 2019 dugza really a different breed though :joy:
