Do you use monotypes?

[pikachu725]

I did it once with Electric types on White, though I had to trade stuff, but it was good.

It was
- Rotom-C
- Raichu
- Eelektross
- Magnezone
- Galvantula
- Jolteon

Overall, it was a good game.

are we talking about monotype teams or monotype pokemon? I've never had a monotype team, and actually, I usually never us monotype pokemon either - I like to cover as many types as I possibly can - however, I recently quickplayed through SS and ended up using a Feraligatr, a Magmortar and an Alakazam.

Team wise, it's not really my thing but I wouldn't mind trying a Dragon-type team one day....would have to buy another cartridge or download a rom or something though because I don't think I'd have it as my main team for a specific Gen. :/

[deoxysdude94]

nah. I never found them interesting.

I hate nuzlockes too.

[BunniBear4]

I have never done a monotype team but I keep considering it. If I were to do it i see myself using water or normal for the variety of moves they can learn. If I were to do normal though I'd only allow one normal/flying or even none at all.

[AquaMilotic]

No, at least not in-game. However, I sometimes use monotype teams for fun in the Battle Frontier/World Tournament/Battle Subway for fun. But even then, I mostly use Latias, Garchomp and Milotic, those three pretty much always do an awesome job for me.

Rarely, that's only in a battle tournement

I'm doing s water team in black 2. I just kicked elesa's butt with just my Vaporeon and psyduck.

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Not yet, but I want to try a monotype challenge in the future.

[Kutie Pie]

I don't believe I've ever tried to do a monotype team, but as Bolt said, BW2 has a medal for it, so I may have to eventually. It sounds like an interesting challenge, but I prefer using a balanced team.

I have a mono Flying type team in Black 2 and a mono Dragon in SoulSilver. Both were very interesting and enjoyable to use. I'm going to try a Grass monotype soon.

I use Totally Neglected Normal Team for battle.

Losing percentage 99.999%.

[Golemite]

I had almost a Fire team once in Sapphire. I guess Blaziken, Camerupt, Magcargo, Ninetales, and Torkoal, I think. Flygon was the sixth Pokémon though. Later I think Torkoal got switched to a Rhydon, but it knew a fire move as well. As well as Surf. B) It was more like an all fire-breathing team more than a monotype team per se. Everyone at every moment knew an attacking fire move.

I've had some Water Teams before too. I like Water Pokémon! You can get pretty versatile teams going with only Water type, since there are so many secondary types.

I am currently doing a monotype grass run on Black 2.

Current team
Ivysaur
Ferroseed
Breloom
Servine

Future additions
Turtwig
Snover

Not bad so far. Fire types can be a ***** but Breloom is fast and knows drain punch so it helps. Ivysaurs poison powder/venoshock combo is nasty. We will see what happens when i reach the E4. After that I plan to do a monotype ground challenge.

I love monotypes, but I have never completed any that I have started.

[KnockFan]

I never done any monotypes, nor do I plan to. The rare exception would be the Type Expert portion of PokeMon World Tournament in Black 2.

[OnceDone]

It is actually very interesting to see how many people use monotypes, and what ones they use!
And for those of you who never have, start quick! It is very much enjoyable!

[Epic-Inferno]

I've never done a monotype before, but I'm planning to do a Normal monotype in Diamond with this team: Bibarel, Ambipom, Togekiss, Lopunny, Porygon-Z, Girafarig.

I agree, it really makes you look more closely at strategy, and learn the ins and outs of a types weakness.

I do monotype challenges in game when I'm not doing Nuzlockes. Usually I also have an extra rule that I have to pick my six favorites from the type I'm using, so I end up with a lot of first and middle forms too.

Also, I've been using a mono flying type team competitively in PO against non-monotype teams for a while now. Been very successful.

[Feralninja]

I've been meaning to do one for a long time, either fire, flying or water. But instead I usually end up doing a Nuzlocke.
