Monotype is an official metagame of Smogon that everyone has tried out at least once whether it would be regular or Monotype Random Battle. Well this tour is like regular Monotype in the fact that all 6 Pokemon must share a common typing, however, Pokémon that are common and widely used in regular Monotype are banned in this format. This creates a new meta with tons of interesting options to explore and can allow many underused types like Dark to become more viable.
What is Monotype UU?
Monotype UU, like regular Monotype, all Pokémon on a team must share a type. Monotype Type UU's Banlist bans obviously follows the Monotype Banlist with the added addition of common Pokémon in regular Monotype from each typing being banned from Monotype UU to help create a different metagame.
The metagame is playable on rom.psim.us under the format Mono UU not Monotype UU.
