I want to eventually start making mono teams for every type. What are some stuff you guys recommend?
Dual type is fine, also it doesn't have to be competitive or anything, it's just for fun anyway but if it's viable that'd be great.
Dragon is probably easiest way to go for beginners
>>26845442
What would you suggest?
>>26845865
Kingdra, Salamence, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Tyrantrum and Dragalge
Probably the most important thing for a monotype team is type coverage. You need a strong answer to every opposing type, especially if you'll be facing other monotype teams. A bad type match-up can be a quick loss for you.
But as for viable mons, check out Smogon's Monotype discussions. It is quite possibly their least cancerous meta, and the viability and cores they talk about are solid choices.

I'd say Flying or Water, since those two are mixed with almost everything.
In Flying you have Gyarados, Skarmory, Gliscor, Salamence, Dragonite, Charizard, Talonflame, Staraptor and the others Normal / Flying, Honchkrow and Aerodactyl, to name just the more prominent.
Water had of course the same Gyarados, Kingdra, Gastrodon, Milotic, Politoed, Kabutops, Ludicolo, Quagsire, Jellicent and of course, the starters, where Feraligatr, Swampert and Greninja are the more prominent.

Easiest one to do is probably mono water in Hoenn.
Swampert/Ludicolo/Sharpedo/Walrein/Milotic/Lanturn/Wailord/Crawdaunt/Starmie
Lots of choice overall

I've yet to use kingdra or hydreigon so thanks
>>26845961
>>26846007
This looks pretty solid, thanks
>>26845926
Yeah I've seen a couple of their threads on the forums. I'd just like to see different takes.
Any recommendations on fairy, steel, fire or electric teams?
A somewhat related question:
Barring HM slaves, is it even possible to beat every game with every type? Is there, for instance, a Ghost type that can learn Rock Climb in gen 4? A Flying type that learns Rock Smash in gen 3? I've always wondered about this, but haven't bothered to put in the work to find out.

Planned BW2 monoice team. Marshal and Colress will be by far the hardest fights for it.
>>26846356
Bretty good
>>26846356
what the fuck do you need the 0 SpA IVs for ?
>>26846607
Just my OCD acting up. Atk IVs are minimised on special attackers to minimise confusion and foul play damage. I do the same on physical attackers for symmetry.
Also just noticed I put Miracle Seed instead of objectively better Grass Gem on Abomasnow.
I did all ghost last run and that worked
Was thinking about all poison or all fighting next and maybe all dragons
>>26847600
What was your ghost team?
I have a mono fighting team chilling in my Battle Box

Poison is fun.
Drapion, Mega Venasaur, Gengar, and Crobat are all nice, leaving you with room to experiment. Get that Venoshock team you've always wanted!

Short answer: no.
Right off the top of my head, I remember that no Bug-type has ever learned Surf.
As a Ferrothorn fan I'd recommend him for Steel or Grass Monotype
Gen 6 was very kind to Normal-types, despite turning quite a few of the better ones into Fairies...
Diggersby, Pyroar, and Heliolisk make for a great team core. You'll need at least one Flying-type, probably, and from there you have a lot of fun options, depending on the metagame you're playing: Smeargle, Blissey/Chansey, Porygon2, Furfrou, Lopunny, Snorlax, Slaking, Kangaskhan... even things like Wigglytuff and Audino become useful at times, due to Fairy typing.
Normal has a lot of great options. Watch out for Conkeldurr and other Fighters, especially ones with Mold Breaker.
