Resource Monotype OM Tiering Announcements

re: UU Monotype

UU Monotype is an OM Based on the usage of the Monotype Ladder that doesn't allow Pokémon due to high usage in similar vein to usage-based tiers like OU, UU, and RU. This would mean certain Pokémon like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Gouging Fire with high usage on the SV Monotype ladder would not be allowed. A resource document has been developed to outline the Pokemon not allowed by typing. Feuille 1 shows specifically the Pokemon that are banned in this metagame while Feuille 2 compiles a list of Pokemon allowed with a preliminary VR. This has also been categorized by typing thanks to Fírnen. We are currently running tournaments daily in the room and recording teams and data in the Monotype OM Discord to help develop this OM, so please join if you are interested: https://discord.gg/7HcVDray7s

:ss/darkrai:

Darkrai @ Blunder Policy
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
- Hypnosis

Darkrai @ Focus Sash
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
- Focus Blast

:darkrai: Darkrai benefits in a metagame where its not overshadowed by prominent Dark-types like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Meowscarada. Although Dark Void received a nerf from 80% accuracy to 50%, Darkrai has access to an alternative option in Hypnosis. Darkrai benefits from Hypnosis by inflicting Pokémon by 15.% (100 HP/8) damage for each turn that Pokémon stays asleep in front of Darkrai. With a high-speed tier, special attack, and access to Nasty Plot this Pokémon on paper can be a threatening special breaker. The council will be looking at this Pokémon more closely.

:ss/zamazenta:

Zamazenta @ Choice Band
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 8 HP / 216 Atk / 32 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Heavy Slam
- Ice Fang
- Crunch

Zamazenta @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Substitute
- Ice Fang / Heavy Slam / Crunch

:zamazenta: Zamazenta's incredible bulk allows it to tank a Moonblast from UU Monotype's most prominent Fairy-type, Enamorus. It's incredible speed, high Attack, and Speed stat make it stick out like a sore thumb. With many of Zamazenta's checks such as Gholdengo, Sableye, and GOD-Flutter Mane not being allowed, this makes Zamazenta an even more overbearing and customizable force in this metagame. The council has voted to ban this Pokémon.

:ss/espathra:
Espathra @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Dazzling Gleam
- Roost

:espathra: Espathra has access to Speed Boost and with the plethora of more viable Pokemon like Latios and Hoopa-Unbound not being allowed, it naturally makes Esparthra better. Light Clay + Screens Deoxys-Speed is a great supportive teammate and with Heavy-Duty Boots, Espathra isn't nuked by hazards since Psychic doesn't have Hatterene anymore. Stored Power + Speed Boost + Calm Mind is a great combination any Psychic type wishes for as it practically still beats opposing Pokemon attempting to se long-term such as Clefable and Unaware users like Dondozo,

:ss/spectrier:
Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Draining Kiss

Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 40 HP / 124 Def / 144 SpA / 200 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex

:spectrier: Spectrier is a speedy Ghost-type that notably has Grim Neigh which rewards itself with a Special Boost when it secures KOes. Spectrier also has good utility in Substitute which allows it to dodge status conditions, setup in Calm Mind or Nasty Plot, and Will-O-Wisp + Hex. Overall this Pokémon on paper can be pretty dangerous in this metagame so we will be keeping a close eye on it.

Monotype Wild Card will start off with an extremely similar ban list to SV Monotype, however the way we handle bans will be a bit different. The council instead of outrightly banning Pokemon from the metagame can also restrict it to the actual types its typically playable on.

With this in mind we decided to restrict Espathra and Gholdengo, while also banning Heat Rock to prevent Protosynthesis from becoming overwhelming.

Also our starting council will be Ethereal Sword, me, Scarfire, and TheWyvernKing!

AAA STABMONS AND UBERS WILL BE DROP FROM MONOTYPE OMS for now due to the lack of interest. Will be locking the threads for now until future popularity of the oms comeback, til then they will be missed.

PLEASE check out the other oms and provide teams replay or discussion to make us better / grow as a community. Thank yall for your time <3
 
REGARDING THE FUTURE OF MONOTYPE OMS & THE MONOTYPEOM ROOM.


Good afternoon. The Monotype OM room has declined in user based activity for quite a while. And it took HEAVY consideration to keep the ship afloat. With me, and the help of our lovely room owner boomp we decided on progressing with the future of this, though small, still cherished sub-style meta of Monotype OMs.

Now with that comes with some possible ideas in the near future. Lets begin.

CCATS WILL BE RETURNING. I have yet to opt for a schedule regarding hosting CCATS as I am currently on the busier side but yes they will continue. To help grow in the remainder of the OMs we are going to opt for which are as followed; Wildcard, UU, CAP, LC, THREAT, TERA, and NDM.
Though the later options wont really be held in the room as NDM CCATS are typically hosted in the NDM room, and Threat is just threat. Now, for Monothreat, I was going to host a fun little idea similar to what other tiers do which iiiiissss...

BREAK THIS CORE!
&
TEAMS OF THE WEEK!


Threat can be a great metagame once a player, new or experienced, figures out how to beat potent threats surrounding the type and build accordingly. Threat is one metagame that, if underlooked, can be a landslide for one or a slippery slope for another. I think with a community based team building weekly competition we can plan ahead of certain variants, different teams, or playstyles!

And, as you saw above, yes we voted on scrapping STAB, AAA, and Ubers as well. It was a very unfortunate decision in the making but it is for the better. These metas, yes are fun, but overall are severely underlooked.

But that means one thing for the future of OMs and that is. . .


CREATING NEW AND INNOVATING OMS!

There are a good variety of regular SV based OMs that we can look at as a beginners knowledge of what exactly we can really do regarding creating further OMs for Monotype.

With that being said. There is discussion of daily room tours. Me and boomp will have to speak with upper staff about coding and such.

SPP8 WILL MOST LIKELY BE A DAILY TOUR IF WE CHOOSE TO DO SO. WITH THAT ALSO BEING SAID, MONOTYPE OM ROOM WILL NOT SOLELY ONLY BE A SUB ROOM TO ONLY PARTICIPATE IN SPP8 TOURS.

Yes we will host them if you ask, but it will NOT be repetitive. We have 6 other for certain OMs we want to expand, and possible OMs in the future that we can work on coding and creating. SPP8 is fun, yes, but its not only just the signature Monotype OM.

If you have any questions feel free to swing by the Monotype OM room and speak with me and boomp! Love you guys! Lets keep OMs thriving!

On this one i dont wanna create no new ones when we just cut off 3 due to the lack of interest, (not even in the future) i wanna focus on the ones that still remain and make sure its better fit for mom community to grow and to make sure its thriving for the next mompl. The problem with adding new oms is it only get love for like a day or so then people loses interest, we saw that in Ubers, and this wasnt official but Godly Gift. When the existing ones get more love and support we will just bring one of the lock ones back.

I can agree, and disagree in the same sense. I will agree on not creating new one's especially since we did vote on cutting off the unfortunately forgotten ones. It wouldn't make much sense to just spring into a new project especially when our goal for now is to update room activity and overall genuine thrill for the tier.


What I will disagree with is:
(not even in the future)

But not for any bad reason. I just like the idea of starting small projects that can hopefully make their way into what we have. This opinion can and could change at any given point I am just being transparent.


Overall I am glad we are conjoined overall in this. Feels like its been a good while since we worked on a big project together. Cheers! :quagchamppogsire:
