i made a couple of mono teams, trying what i best, looking through lists of potential teams and found that psychic is diverse enough in duel types to run a competitive mono team
azelf@life orb
naive/levitate
36 Atk / 252 SpA / 220 Spe
explosion
psychic
flamthrower
u-turn
basic scouting azelf, a perfect lead when you have type restrictions, the added bonus of u-turn allowing decent damage on annoying leads with bug weaknesses (other psychics ttar..) fire good on the sudden influx of zong leads, and explosion is for removing blisseys and other annoying heavy walls.
starmie@choice specs
modest/natural cure
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
grass knot
ice beam
surf
thunderbolt
a bit of type coverage which is needed when running mono, choice specs allows a larger damage output and can OHKO dragons (heavily dent yache chomp) when it switches in on an attack. as well as remove heatrans mixapes, ttars,
wobbuffet@leftovers
bold/shadow tag
4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
counter
destiny bond
mirror coat
encore
its a wobby, it doesnt do much but annoy set up pokes, removing them from the game if i know it will be 2hko by destiny bond, or locking a pokemon in place using a move so i can switch in another poke (starmie, jirachi etc) or basically just killing them with counter or mirror coat..
jirachi@leftovers
bold/serene grace
252 HP / 80 Def / 176 Spe
calm mind
psychic
substitute
hidden power fighting (69)
due to IV/nature restrictions this was the strongest stats combo possible with hidden power fighting, which is there of course to remove dark types which counter psychics with little problem, can be used to self set up off the wobbys encore or on a move that won't do much to steel.
metagross@leftovers
adamant/clear body
152 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Spe
meteor mash
earthquake
agility
thunderpunch
as i already have an exploder, and practially no electric moves that last move was a no brainer, agility can be used if i can get wobby to lock something not effective against steel, allowing the agility to allow me to outspeed the fires and ground types which might come in on me, fires get killed by EQ grounds take heavy off meteor mash.
gardevoir@leftovers
trace/modest
252 HP / 48 SpA / 176 SpD / 32 Spe
will o wisp
wish
thunder bolt
psychic
had to run thunderbolt, an extra piece of water coverage was needed and it allows dark types to be hit, trace allows for some nice effects, especially as i could bring this on a shedinja trying to status burn it with will o wisp (forcing it to switch out or die) giving me its power, also same with vaporeon bring it in on a surf and take advantage of the heals, same with swift swim, taking that and throwing thunderbolts around in the rain can ruin those teams.
by using things like steel deul types i have removed the weaknesses that dark and bug provide and gengar cant OHKO jirachi allowing that to kill it
