I'm quite new to Monotype. So I'd like to get my team rated and also get some useful tips for Monotype battles! My main type is Fairy. Cuz no type is immune against it and its a quite powerful type that checks Dark, Dragon and Fighting, one of which is a POWERFUL type - Dragon. And its also my fav type :)
Thanatos (Gardevoir-Mega) (F) @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Psyshock
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Ball
I gave it the ability trace to hopefully get speed boost from Blazikens and Ninjasks before I had it Mega-Evolved, so I can out-speed faster Pokemon. As you can see from it's EVs, Nature and IVs, its a Fast Special Sweeper. Instead of the normal Moonblast, I gave it Hyper Voice to utilize its Pixilate ability that makes normal type moves into stronger fairy type moves. Making it more powerful than Moonblast. As for Psyshock, i will be using it to counter Pokemon that are physically weak. (Famous examples: Chansey, Blissey) As to why I didn't go with Focus Blast is to avoid potentially missing it. And Will-o-Wisp to cripple potential physical threats to my team. Lastly, Shadow Ball to counter pesky Ghost types.

Belle (Ribombee) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sweet Veil
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sticky Web
- Tailwind
- Bug Buzz
- Dazzling Gleam
Ribombee's purpose is to set-up and make my Pokemons faster. I gave it Focus Sash so that no matter what, it can land it's Sticky Web. I also gave it Tailwind so it can speed up my other Pokemons sitting at the back. Bug Buzz and Dazzling Gleam will be there to help do some chip damage to the opposing team if Ribombee is still alive after setting up Tailwind and Sticky Web.

Flora (Comfey) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Triage
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draining Kiss
- Giga Drain
- Dazzling Gleam
- Petal Dance
I planned this Pokemon to be a Life-Stealing Fast Heavy Hitter. I gave it Choice Specs to boost its Special Attack so that it can hit hard with priority to all healing/draining moves. [Triage] It checks Pokemon that are Specially weak but Fast. [example: Mega-Lopunny, Mega-Gallade, etc.] I gave it Dazzling Gleam and Petal Dance as Place Holder moves. I still don't know what moves to put.

Aphrodite (Florges-White) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
- Aromatherapy
This girly here will be the Tank of the team. I gave it Moonblast for STAB and Giga Drain for additional healing. Synthesis to keep it alive and Aromatherapy to support other team members by curing status conditions. I mostly use it for switching in to Pokemon that hits kinda hard. {tbh i didnt know what i was thinking when i added her into the team. She's kinda useless but at the same time, there's not really any better options?}

THOR (Tapu Koko) @ Electrium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Wild Charge
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- U-turn
- Taunt
This one was my go-to mon in every team. This set uses Wild Charge over Thunderbolt in order to weaken specially defensive Pokemon like Magearna and Chansey that normally switch into Thunderbolt. U-turn allows Tapu Koko to pivot out against Ground-types like Gliscor and Landorus-Therian without having to worry about its attempt being blocked like it would with Volt Switch. Taunt can be useful for shutting down defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Ferrothorn improving this set's ability to break down defensive teams. And its the choosen one to have a Z-crystal.

Ariale (Azumarill) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Liquidation
Azumarill will have Huge Power to boost its Attack whilst having 4x Attcak boost from Belly Drum. I gave it Sitrus Berry to heal it up to about 75% of its max HP when it uses Belly Drum. Aqua Jet will be used to KO Physically Weaker Pokemon. Play Rough and Liquidation for STAB and deal MASSIVE Damage to the opposing team. I use it as a Physical Sweeper.

I hope to get some helpful tips from experienced players out there! Please do rate my team!
