I'm relatively new to Monotype, so don't be surprised if I miss some key factors or whatnot. I decided to make a Mono-Steel team, as Steel has great resistances and some pretty fearsome sweepers. Here it is:
Ferrothorn (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Spd / 0 Spe IVs
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
Ferrothorn, a great Pokemon. It can set up Spikes and Stealth Rock and then proceed to tank hits or hit opposing Pokemon with it's two STABs. It's basically the Standard Ferrothorn set.
Genesect @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Download
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Thunderbolt
- Giga Drain
- Flamethrower
- U-turn
Ah yes, the infamous Genesect. Or should I say, Gigasect. With a Choice Scarf, it is able to bypass enemies and proceed to take them down with one of it's amazing coverage moves, or come back with U-Turn. Naive nature is so U-Turn won't do any less damage.
Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Iron Head
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- U-turn
Many people say that this Jirachi set is one of the worst sets ever made for it. But if you look deeper and actually test it out, it grows on you, like it did on me. This set covers almost all the common threats, plus you can spam Iron Head on those opposing Pokemon that would otherwise KO your other Pokemon.
Heatran (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 244 HP / 44 SDef / 220 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Torment
- Toxic
- Protect
- Lava Plume
Tormentran hasn't been used in a while, but I love it. In the first battle I used this team, Heatran KO'ed half the opponent's team with this this set. It's amazing. Use Torment to stop the opponent from using a move that can cover Heatran, then proceed to stall it with Toxic if it doesn't switch out. Even if it does, I can just Toxic the next Pokemon and stall them out.
Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- ExtremeSpeed
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
Lucario, the ever-present. It can set up a Swords Dance and proceed to sweep like a boss. Ice punch is for those annoying Dragon teams, and after a Swords Dance, Lucario can OHKO a Multiscale Dragonite with Ice Punch, so it's cool.
Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
Skarmory gets the job done. It can set up Spikes and proceed to Whirlwind away and attack Bravely at opponents (get it, Bravely?). In addition, I can easily Roost off damage and Sturdy let's me stay in for a longer period of time.
So this is my Mono-Steel team! Please don't be too harsh, since this is my very first Monotype team. Here's an exportable version if you wish to test it out:
