Do you use monotypes?

[SuperDaikenki]

Rarely, that's only in a battle tournement

[deh74]

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.

[~Kari~]

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.

[sizida]

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.

[GoldenHouou]

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.

[Firebrand]

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.

[Chriiis]

I usually get a hold of a Flying-type team after a while. The only reason I don't keep one all the time is because Umbreon isn't Flying. :P

[KillerDraco]

If I want to try a "just for fun/for a challenge" type run that isn't Nuzlocke (the paranoia and extreme grinding can be annoying), then yeah, I'll attempt a Monotype Run. I've done Poison, Water, and Flying before, in Fire Red, Platinum, and Heart Gold, respectively.

[Masterofknees]

I have often thought about doing a mono-poison, grass or ground team, and I will probably do it in the future, but as of right now I haven't tried it.

Grass is fun, hard, but fun. you have to really watch your move pool to take down fire types. Even 5 levels higher I still struggle with fire types

Depends on the version, too. Hoenn versions might not be as bad for a Grass team, due to the likes of Ludicolo and Cradily.

[T.W.I.]

ALWAYS!

In game, random wifi, PS, whenever I can. I like the thrill of a challenge (and being like a gym leader XP)

I currently play Normal, but I have done Psychic, Electric, Steel, Dragon, Ghost and Dark quite well in the past.

That is true, didnt Sinnoh have a lack of fire types? If so, that would work.

Ferroseed was a great addition to the grass type, yes it has x4 weakness to fire besides that its only other weakness is fighting. The thing is a tank! it can take some hits

I also added Breloom (drain punch FTW) and Ivysaur (poison powder/venoshock combo is deadly)

[CometTheEmolga]

Meh, sometimes.

[remybutton]

I never had a team full of one type, but I was always fond of Jolteon, a monotype. I used in my playthrough of Black 2.

[yuoke]

If you mean specifically mono type pokemon individually, then sometimes, bur not too many. Ampharos probably being the one used the most.
