Metagame Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

I wanted to make my Ground VR after using it for quite a while:

S: :clodsire:

S-:

A:

B:

C:

I think S mons are all needed in Ground so basically those are the 6 that you usually want on a standard Ground team with basically choosing you Unaware + Water Absorb and a 6th member which usually is your Scarf user as I have seen that many poeople dislikes Scarf Great Tusk.

Iron Treads can be very useful as a hazard removal, it can provide pivotting with Volt Switch while being a helpful bulky mon and Fairy resist + Ice neutral with some people trying Scarf and AV on it rather than lefties. I think Scarf Tusk is great but I have seen people hating it altho it is very helpful for Dark, Dragon, Mirrors, Ghost and potentially it just does tons of damage to every slower mon than it.
Clodsire is basically just the goat with both Unaware or Water Absorb altho i prefer Unaware as i think Gastro+Clod is more solid than Quag+Clod.

The S- mons are still needed but i feel like the top 3 are the S mons altho those 6 could just be part of the S tier together. Ting-Lu can phaze opponents out as Ground is good at Hazard Stacking with Gastro and Quag fullfilling a solid defensive backbone along with Clodsire.

Sandy-Shocks is usually used as Scarf user and the only reason I would use it over other mons is its capacity destroy Corvi. Chomp has been used as Setter + Phazer in SV but in Mono i have saw offensive sets with both Scarf / Band or just LO. Palossand has the cool niche to block Spinners and can eventually help Gastro+Clod combo by handling some non Banded Water physical mons when at full HP.

Rest of the mons are pretty nichy, never used Mudsdale but i guess it could be annoying altho completely outclassed by Ting-Lu, Toedscruel could help vs Water and in the Mirror, while Spore is always helpful. Dugtrio could potentially be funny and lethal altho it's kinda hard to allow him to get kills, especially if you when revenge kill you could just have better options. Krooko can be a annoying setter with Taunt and eventually some people run the classical Moxie+Scarf set, while Hippo is fat as always and can still chip mons with Sandstorm + WW.

Pre SV i thought Ground could be very cool and after one month think it's one of the best typesin the current meta after the last week bans, Hazard stacking is just very strong and the sv meta + there are very fat mons and strong breakers

How does Cinderace (and the Libero nerf) affect the Fire teams? Asking this since Cinderace is coming already

Asking about Charizard too due to Solar Power

I saw many people talking about this but i am not 100% sure about the movepool it will get altho I think it will be the same.

If it does remain the same I think Ace will still be a staple and a very strong mon, probably with Band / Scarf sets that we already saw in SS rather than HDB 4A and sets like Scarf with sun boosted pyro ball can be very strong for many types not having a resistance while scarf Gunk Shot / HJK / U-turn are a massive help for types such as Dark, Fairy or even Psychic.
HDB might be fine altho the Libero nerf would be really important, it would still remain a really fast mon with a pivotting move, amazing coverage, a cool priority move and access to U-turn so still surely a very viable mon but I think the first set I would try would be Scarf

Week 3 Usage Stats

36 matches were played in week 3, resulting in 72 teams being used.

Key reminders: Annihilape, Chi-Yu, and Iron Bundle were banned prior to the start of the week. There are some replays that include them, due to later implementation on the sim.

Type vs type win-rates (enjoy the screenshot of my spreadsheet since the ascii table is huge):

So with the recent bans of Chiyu, Deli-Bot-Bird and Ah-Nee-Hee-Lah-Peh, I feel like I want to address things on my radar and whether I think we should ban/suspect/do nothing.

:Chien-Pao:

Chien Pao has no switchins and surprisingly, it's not that hard to switch it in. It's bulk is better than weavile and both ice and dark has ways to switch it in. :lokix:

and

can both uturn on dark and on ice, snow doubles its defense. Overall, I'm leaning towards a quickban.

:Flutter-mane:

I genuinely think Flutter Mane is kinda not too bad. The bad physical defense hurts it a lot, especially since priority succer-punch, shadow sneak, ice shard, and aqua jet is everywhere. Unlike OU where you can bypass that with switchs, ghost and fairy both don't have that good of phyiscally bulky options(except maybe :dachsbun:

but with chi-yu gone it's kinda useless). However, it doesn't dismiss its massive speed and spa which makes certain MU feel impossible. I lean towards a quickban.

:Dondozo:

Dondozo is one of the best physical walls and curse sweepers and although for types like bug, it's impossible to beat. However, I feel that its brokeness is not that bad. For example, on bug, I started using specs rabsca with energy ball, trick, revival blessing, and another move to combat this because modest specs energy ball is a guarateed 2hko. Honestly, for this one I'd prefer a suspect test because I feel like the meta can adapt to this.

Revival Blessing: Honestly, this move is a bit underwhelming. :rabsca:

overall kinda sucks and :pawmot:

gets outclassed by :iron hands:

, however whenever I see one of the two I start panicking. Reviving in Mono is a lot more devastating than OU. For example, suppose dark got rid of scarf heracross, a huge threat to the entire team. Then the dark player should be rewarded for making the right plays and eliminating the threats. However, rabsca bringing heracross back just nullified everything dark as done. Often you sack :rabsca:

or

to revive a more threatening teammate. The opposing team has already probably sacked 2 mons to get rid of a big threat or at least heavily weakened 2 mons to bring down the threat. In exchange for one slightly useless mon, you give the opponent a round 2. I just don't think that's fair. Overall, I want this quickbanned.

Only like Grass is the type I see that can't really handle Chien Pao, I guess Dragon has some big issues but I'd seen adaptations there with Baxcalibur as well, overall maybe a suspect in the future but certainly not a quickban I feel most people have no issue with it.

Dondozo is one of the best physical walls and curse sweepers and although for types like bug, it's impossible to beat. However, I feel that its brokeness is not that bad. For example, on bug, I started using specs rabsca with energy ball, trick, revival blessing, and another move to combat this because modest specs energy ball is a guarateed 2hko..

overall kinda sucks

I've been experimenting with bug's answers as well, it has some including..vespiquen, specs rabsca, metronome fury cutter scizor maybe can 1v1 depending on sleep rng, but even in your own discussion of it you completely contradict your own point. You're saying "Rabsca is what I use to answer Dondozo" but also "Rabsca kinda sucks", you shouldn't have to compromise a type's overall viability against any non dondozo team for the sake of having a winchance vs. 1 pokemon.
The bigger issue I have with it on the overall meta besides basically 6-0ing bug is I consider it pretty limiting in the builder, there are tons of teams I've made for other types that would otherwise be viable before realizing even if it holds up strong in the meta, it would get demolished by Dondozo. Even types that don't have the biggest issue with it like Fairy have been running Grass Knot Iron Valiant pretty specifically for Dozo, and I definitely think that alot of types need to cut on their own viability to handle it in addition to the regular meta. Even besides that, it's team support is incredible and just unning it more as a physical wall it completely shuts down all setup. All the while it's moves are pretty interchangeable, Avalanche for example is a solid choice that helps it beat stuff like WA Clodsire and Dragon, I've seen some no sleep talk sets work pretty well, and ultimately it doesn't need water stab since you can gear it to solo specific types pretty well.

That's the point. Rabsca does indeed kinda suck but it's one of the few reliable options in combination with trick that can handle dondozo on bug. Here is the thing, even if we have to over extend for it, we do so a lot in monotype to make teams. For example, towards the end of SS people on grass started run infestation eq alolan exeg, stomping tantrum appleton, and eq cradily to counter specifically heatran and even though their role is quite one dimensional, it works quite well. What I'm trying to say is this, dondozo is a mon that is restricting but not to the point where is only way to counter it is to make your team much worse. Rabsca is not a good mon, but the utility in revival blessing and high special attack does give it some roles that other bugs cannot fill. Bug is not a type that is forced to run 6 exact pokemon. The only ones I deem complete necessity is scizor, lokix, and volcarona(aka the bug trio of OU). Maybe you would need something like heracross and/or slither wing but you have options for the 2 remaining member(or 1 if you run both). I feel taking one slot for rabsca is not going to make the bug team worse overall by a lot. I talked about rabsca kinda sucking but the combination of people discovering how to abuse revival blessing and its ability to be a soft check to dondozo might make it a highly useful member of a bug team.

TLDR: Dondozo is like cinderace and galar-darm, it's restricting but it a way that gives lower tier pokemon the ability to shine, for instance: rabsca.

I'm too lazy to make writeups for any of these but here's my opinions on the watchlist rn

Revival blessing: Suspect Test (wouldn't be opposed to a quickban)
:pawmot:

: no

: Suspect test
:dondozo:

: Quickban
:chien-pao:

: Suspect test
:roaring-moon:

: Maaaaybe suspect test. That's a really hard maybe tho
:cyclizar:

: Don't ban
:gholdengo:

: Don't ban
:baxcalibur:

: Don't ban

How does Cinderace (and the Libero nerf) affect the Fire teams? Asking this since Cinderace is coming already

Asking about Charizard too due to Solar Power

I'm going to reformulate the question.

After the ban of Chi-Yu, I've seen Fire teams are locked in this:
Torkoal/Scovillain/Ceruledge/Talonflame/Tauros/Volcarona

-Would Charizard or Cinderace be able to steal a spot? If so, which one? Or is better the current team without incorporating Charizard or Cinderace?
-How viable would be Oricorio instead Talonflame?

readyletsgo · Dec 22, 2022

I think the appeal of talon flame is that with boots, you can priority defog with Gale Wings. Also flame body.

WhiteQueen · Dec 22, 2022

Dondozo is so big you can’t even fit it all in your mouth. Total gag lord. Ban please.

Also, please ban Revival Blessing. It’s ugly and smelly. Also, completely breaks monotype battle by reviving 1 (or 2 with leppa berry) Pokémon after its counter is already dead. Shit is broken.

Fire's strongest 6 is Tork/Scovillain/Ceruledge/Tauros/Volcarona/Moth. Occasionally teams run Rotom-Heat for Screens/Utility support.

Talonflame and Charizard both suck. The teamcomp issue here is mitigated by simply running HDB on Torkoal for survivability as opposed to just having Sun up for 7 turns but taking damage on entry.

I've seen people raising the point of a Scarf Charizard Solar Power set which makes little sense to me given the lack of survivability (Scarf mandates you play through Rocks not to mention Solar Power chip –– this will be lucky to be alive for 2 turns.) It's not fast and does little in the way of addressing the fast problem threats for Fire –– Flutter Mane and Roaring Moon –– both of which proc +1 under Protosynthesis and outspeed you even with Scarf. Nor does ScarfZard even OHKO Moon with Dragon Pulse. It's just not good.

If/when Cinderace is legal I suspect it'll be a pivotal mon on the type particularly for the Scarf set. Fire is very much so in need of a faster Scarfer as Moth's speed tier while serviceable just isn't speedy enough for where the meta is currently. Bulk Up/SD sets are dead in the water due to the Protean nerf but I suspect HDB will still see a bit of play due to the popularity of screens making Court Change a very powerful option to have in your pocket.

Having played a ton of Fire this gen I'd have the type's VR something like this since the Chi-Yu ban.

S: Torkoal, Tauros-Paldea-Fire
A: Ceruledge, Scovillain (weather sweepers are typically not S but I don't understand running Fire without it currently), Iron Moth
B: Volcarona
C: Rotom-Heat, Talonflame

Basically every team should be running Tork-Tauros-Ceruledge-Scovillain. Cinderace's arrival likely leads to one of Moth or Volcarona falling out of favor completely.

Council update regarding the 5th ban wave:

A breakdown of all the votes:


	Dondozo	Flutter Mane	Kingambit
Kev	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban
Zap	Do Not Ban	Ban	Do Not Ban
Attribute	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban
Chaitanya	Do Not Ban	Ban	Ban
Floss	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban
DugZa	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban
maroon	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban	Do Not Ban
Shiba	Ban	Ban	Do Not Ban

As a result, nothing will be quick banned in this wave. Moreover, the conclusion of this round is that the council has determined that the metagame has reached a healthy, playable position where there is nothing objectively broken to the point of being immediately removed. There will be no more quickban waves until the release of home (with the exception of particular situations, or something being randomly added to the game pre-home). As such, we will be moving onto the suspect phase of metagame development; expect a suspect in the near future ! Would love to hear what people think should be suspected first and why.

When can we expect to start doing SV analyses? Do we wait for HOME to start, or do we begin soon?

This is more of a question for mono C&C mods, but since the meta is just now getting in a settled spot, sample sets at the very least might be uploaded soon. But analyses are probably pretty undetermined for now

TheWyvernKing · Dec 28, 2022

Aight it requires using Fury Cutter Metronome :Scizor:

and

but I've been able to handle :Dondozo:

water fairly consistently with Bug without using :Rabsca:

or shenanigans like :Spidops:

. I'd seen people use spidops teams they praised and whatnot, but felt it made some mus alot more difficult than it needed to be. I've also been running Morning Sun with a Max attack/life orb and pretty bulky Slither Wing to help with water cores. I've also been running a Taunt/SD Lokix with black glasses + Throat Chop/Sucker, it's been fairly useful in mus like ground but honestly might go back to Band. It's not a set that's entirely necessary for the team.
2 Replays with it that show how it's been used. I'll also clarify that the user I'd been facing with it had faced the team before which is why they switch Dondozo out of Scizor or just directly attack, as it would lose the 1v1 if it tried to set up.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-1756075436-wx1e2gbs6x7uecyvdia1f1qdc8vrqozpw
I'll also recognize that sleep rng was largely favorable to me in these battles, though they also weren't perfectly performed games by me either (2nd one in particular, would've been in a much better position if I didn't fury cutter Tatsugiri, even if it hit), but it definitely feels better in the dozo matchup than before, as well as better than using Rabsca for more mus. Still trying things out, not 100% set on the Lokix or Volc sets I've been using for the team, but I'd been able to win pretty consistently with it in the 1600s so far. Drawbacks as far as matchups go with the changes for the team, Flying is certainly more difficult than it was before, and fire is 100% unwinnable though that's not new, Dragon will ofc be unfavorable, and skeledirge Ghost is difficult to manage though not unbeatable. Still recognize that bug has to sacrifice in order to handle dozo, but not 100% unbeatable as it seemed before.
I'll also recognize that Vivillon is pretty needed for this mu, though you could I suppose replace it with Rabsca for the following reasoning, which is keeping the lead mu in your favor which is pretty necessary here. Otherwise you'd need to lead Slither or Scizor to not have a totally hopeless mu vs. Dozo from turn 1, and both are pretty essential for the long game, and can easily lead to momentum going out of your favor if it's not a dozo lead. I'll also say that Vivi is solid to have for pelipper, as Bug would struggle a bit more without it.

Apologies for the new account, I barely come on these forums but I play monotype for a while every generation since Gen 6 (I use fire) and I wanted to see what the bans look like, and unsurprisingly it's disappointing to say the least. Every generation is the same - only half the broken stuff get's quick-banned, while stuff that makes the meta unplayable for anyone not running:

- Water, Dragon, Ground, Fairy, Dark and Flying

- The one "OKish" team for the less dominant types, leaving no room for creativity, that you have zero room for error with or you lose no matter what to the aforementioned six types (unless you run a type that does have SE STAB on them, but even THEN all these types have MANY answers to the Monotypes they are weak too).

Remains unbanned.

With little hope that they will eve be banned r, or if they do it will take a year, by which point a new game will have released and it all starts again.

For example, Chi-yu get's banned (because it is broken on dark, but fire get's punished for that too), while leaving stuff like Chien-Pao available, who is arguably just as if not MORE powerful because of how fast it is!

And I'm not saying Chien-Pao should be banned, I don't have a problem with it (and I don't want Ice to be punished be cause Dark has access to it) I'm just saying how do you come to the conclusion that Chi-yu should be banned but NOT Chien-Pao? Either ban both or ban neither, because they are equally as powerful in different scenarios. It's just comes across as a double standard.

And not even a mention of Ting-Lu - a pokemon that is so hilariously tanky on the physical and special side, with access to a super-fang clone and rocks.

Good luck getting rid of Ting-Lu with a Fire Mono before it set up rocks while dealing respectable damage to a few of your team members.

Or Sandy-Shocks - which can singlehandedly wipe a fire mono because it has excellent coverage and stats. Fire has ONE consitent switch in option for Power Gem this generation - Camerupt with Assault Vest. Do I need to explain how AWFUL that is? Skeledirge is better as a dedicated Physical Wall for Fire.

It's genuinely frustrating to try and play when you see such inconsistent banning criteria that leaves the types you enjoy running weaker, while leaving other objectively more powerful types relatively un-scathed - because it's clear the Council rarely uses the less dominant types and don't know what causes problems for them.

I understand your frustration about all of this. However, it seems to be true that a lot of the broken stuff just happens to be on a type that frankly, doesn't deserve it to be banned, for it would crush their viability. However, Sandy Shocks is very not-broken in my eyes, while Ting-Lu is hilariously bulky, yes, but that doesn't merit a ban. For what it's worth, I believe it's worse than Gen 8 Toxapex. The issue is that low-tier types lose to a lot more of seemingly broken 'mons simply because of the factors that made them low tier. Additionally, the argument that the council is wishy-washy is not very convincing, seeing as they've done a great job so far. Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu serve two different roles, and while one might seem better than the other, I would trust the Council more than my own playtesting.

I understand this is frustrating and this is probably a rant(if it isn't your arguments I shall deem them as unfit for reasonable conversation) so I would like to make a few corrections to your argument. Please take the following with a grain of salt as I understand you are ranting and as such I may be highly critical.

1. Chien-Pao is arguably worse than Chi-yu: This is not accurate as the base power of chien-pao's attacks are weaker than chi-yu and chien pao also has a much lower attack than chi-yu does for special attack. This does not account for the fact that specs chi-yu under sun is unswitchable which made fire user stick to sacking a bunch of pokemon to safely bring in chi-yu as much as possible with occasional Scovillain. That's what made it uncompetitive. I'm exaggerating a bit but you get the point.

2. Flying: Flying is actually not worthy of a spot. First, the steel birb option is limited to corv. The only electric immunity is killowatrel which cannot deal with electric types forcing people to run stuff like eq mence and nite to cover electric. Imo the type that should take on that spot is fighting. Fighting has a lot of tools including revival blessing, great tusk, etc.

3. Sandy Shocks: This thing's movepool is pretty shallow and I'm pretty sure a lot of council people will point out: just because one pokemon nullifies a type, that's not enough evidence to ban a pokemon. Take for example melmetal. In gen 8 melm completely shuts down most of fairy. However, people didn't ban it after DLC. Why? because of more pokemon, other types managed to adapt and even though fairy don't like melm at all, playing around it is part of the game. This is similar with sandy shocks except there is even less of a case for a ban because under sun, scovillain outspeed and out offenses while fire has mons like talon which can switch on earth power and attack it while iron moth is not a viable switch but outspeeds and can ohko it. This is better if scarfed because scovillain with a +spe nature still outspeeds. Are the options limited and few: yes however that's just the nature of monotype.

4. Ting-Lu: With fire, yes it can set up rocks is which annoying af but a lot of fire run HDB to begin with and talon falme can come it to defog it. This also doesn't help that scovillain can do a lot of damage with solar beam. Is Ting lu very strong: yes. However, it's just very bulky and can chip well. In other words, annoying but not unbeatable. Also you said: "
Good luck getting rid of Ting-Lu with a Fire Mono before it set up rocks while dealing respectable damage to a few of your team members." Fire has always had this problem. However, the fact that it can still be a decent types means players figured out ways around it.

Overall arguments: You complain about how every gen the council does ban half the broken stuff but the problem is this: a balanced meta is considered the meta where types have the most options while minimizing the distance between the best and worst type. Here is the thing, with the nature of monotype, some types are always going to have less tools than others, made worse with the fact that HOME has not arrived. If we banned every broken thing, we would have so little creativity with what we can that mono is no longer playable. The best example is galarian moltres, kyurem, and aegislash in gen 8. These pokemon are obscene however, none of them were particularly banworthy because people found ways to play around them.

PS: You mentioned how the council rarely play with lower types. Here is the thing: we have suspect tests for a reason. Even though your statement is deeply inaccurate, suspect tests are here to remedy this issue. Playing with lower tier types is often fun I don't feel this feeling is within the vast minority. People are going to be vocal about ti eventually people will come to realize it.

TLDR: We ban things in a way that would maximize the options given while minimizing the gap between the best and worst. Maximizing options is a priority of the latter, which is why quickbans are rare and happen mostly when a generation starts. Due to past experience we ban things based on 1. Too much luck/reduce skill 2. Too strong/Uncomeptitive and do not ban/unban based on viability(we don't do type bans).

We literally have Cinderace coming this week, and the rest of Home Transfer in a few months, as well as many people thinking a DLC. The issue if anything right now is a lack of diversity, and even so we have many points where we'll be able to have access to more pokemon and make better judgement calls on the meta. All the while introducing more counterplay and such.

Either ban both or ban neither, because they are equally as powerful in different scenarios. It's just comes across as a double standard.

Chi Yu and Chien Pao are VERY different pokemon, Chien Pao has reasonable counterplay by the majority of the meta. It's a good mon, but just about everyone who doesn't have weird opinions on things like "gholdengo should be banned" can tell that it's nowhere near as unhealthy as Chi Yu was on the meta. That's my opinion at least, Chi Yu was definitely limiting on the potential playstyles that types could bring. I'd argue that the boost in viability to bulkier builds was thanks to both the Annihilape Ban, but also the Chi Yu ban which could 2hko just about every special wall in the tier. My experience playing it showed that not only did it really limit how types such as Electric could respond to Dark, but it also made Dark have a pretty reasonable bug matchup for lower-mid ladder Bug users and required changes in the build to respond to it better. By your own argument of beating bad matchups, that would justify banning it wouldn't it? Not to mention but bringing up Chien Pao, the mon really isn't oppressive on the majority of the meta. Only like Grass I can see making that argument and that's largely in part to a lack of diversity in the type, and even then most Grass mains I see complain moreso about mons such as Flutter then Chien Pao. It helps favor Dark in the Dragon MU, but Dragon is still an all around solid type that I've seen people find counterplay for Chien Pao with.

Aside from the fact we're about to get Cinderace, this is a super extreme exaggeration of how strong Ting Lu is. It's solid, bulky sure, but with no recovery and 6 weaknesses including some very common coverage such as Fighting - it's usually not anywhere near impossible to deal with. Between Fire having mons such as Volc/Tauros/Scovillain, hazard control in Torkoal and Talon - as well as Court Change Cinderace we're about to get, I really don't see Ting Lu being worse than other options Ground has such as Garchomp for Fire to face. Either way I don't think people really bring it up because most people can handle it pretty well, or at least know how to play around it.

I'll also add that Sandy Shocks does not singlehandedly wipe a fire mono lmao, having done an electric run that got to 1600s I'll say right now that most of Fire's losses in that run were from misplays, even with a +Spa Protosynthesis Scarf Sandy Shocks, I 100% see Fire as equal or favored depending on the build in the electric matchup. It sounds like the difficulty you're having is the Fire vs. Ground, not impossible but certainly in Ground's favor.

The general understanding is that tier diversity is incredibly important for monotype, and there will exist problem pokemon for one or another type. Scizor for example has always been an issue for Ice, and Dondozo right now is well known for it's difficulty to handle with bug and ability to 6-0 many builds there. The reason we have these discussions is to recognize what mons are truly oppressive on not 1 but multiple types or playstyles, and where responding to it is not merely "adapting to the meta". I'm open to the idea of discussing Ting Lu, Chien Pao, or even Sandy Shocks, but you kinda came out here swinging without really contributing much earlier or acknowledging the present perspective of these pokemon - or how that perspective was formed. I'll also say that those 3 pokemon I do not see as nearly as bad as the mons looked at by council in Kev's post. I've seen far more fire mains complain about Flutter than Ting Lu/Sandy, with Power gem specs in sun with protosynthesis being the issue there. Kingambit is recognized for it's lategame potential and immediate damage from Supreme Overlord. Dondozo 6-0'd the most viable bug builds we saw in the early meta, while winning when special attackers were defeated. In contrast I'd seen fire find success in both the Dark and Ground matchup, and have far more counterplay vs. Ting Lu/Sandy which you listed than Bug with Dondozo for example. You make it out to seem like most types aren't viable at a higher level of competitive play, but genuinely I think the vast majority have potential and solid viability in the meta.

Why did you have to specifically call me out :(

Snapteryx · Dec 30, 2022

I don't feel like making massive explanations for all of my rankings but I'm just gonna put my personal flying VR here. I'm surprisingly having a ton of fun with homeless mono flying. It's still a bad monotype that lost a lot of it's staples and it literally gets curb stomped by mono fairy but I think I'm getting the hang of it? I've won against a decent enough number of mono ghosts and darks and specs salamence has been more helpful than I'd like to admit. The ground and water matchups are really tough but still doable. Not to mention that electric and ice got nerfed too. Overall, mono flying is mid C tier in my opinion. Not good by any means but if you just like the type and want to use it, I'd suggest giving it a shot.

SS Tier (not all s tiers are 100% mandatory but these 2 are definitely mandatory on every flying team)

Pelipper: I never liked using rain so I never touched it ever but it seems like high B material on paper since you can give Kilowattrel actual coverage with weather ball and make sure your hurricane users don't miss. Take this with a grain of salt tho

Also, can I ask when the monotype VR is coming out? I know it takes time to make a separate VR for each monotype but since the last ban wave just happened, I feel like this is a good time to get it out now.
