I decided to put together a team with Mega Medicham because it is the most powerful wallbreaker of the entire game. Its High Jump Kick can 2HKO Clefable and other fat Pokémon who resists it. ScarfRachi is a great partner because it provides momentum with U-turn and makes Medicham enter easily without taking additional damage. Also, Healing Wish is a great support move.
I was in need of a Hoenn Pokémon that could get Stealth Rock on the field and could take hits. Swampert is the perfect choice! Also, give us a nice answer against VoltTurn teams.
The team was a little weak against Bulky Waters and Ground. I decided to give a chance to the mushroom Breloom. Breloom is sensational against offense with his powerful Technician-boosted Mach Punch addition to the support with Spore.
Ground-spam was a problem. I was in need of something that has Ground immunity and at the same time help to control entry hazards spam. The chosen Pokémon was Latios, by far. With its 350 Speed combined with the dual STAB Psychic + Dragon, Latios is an excellent check for Fighting and Poison Pokémon in general.
The final slot was kinda tricky. I've been looking Pokémon like Salamence, Manectric, Metagross among others, but the choice was perfect this little purple gnome. Prankster is phenomenal in this metagame where many players abuse entry hazards as Sticky Web and I can stop it with Taunt. Besides this function, priority Taunt works as an excellent Stallbreaker, helping us in different situations, especially against Johto.

Monogen is a funny metagame and pretty cool to build and using your favorites. Everyone should tryout! Its not as competitive as OU or any of the other metas, but we still need to remember that Pokemon is fun too :]
