Welcome to the /vp/ Monotype Threads!

Here we hold a Monotype tournament where you compete to be a gym leader and represent your favourite type in Pokemon Sun and Moon!

We are in the early stages of development for the upcoming tournament that will be held into the new year, starting on the 7th of January.
Rules and format are open to discussion at this point but the general rule set is 3v3 best 2 out of 3 using flat rules. More specifics can be found here: http://pastebin.com/8eAQufm5 (subject to change)

Plenty of people will be breeding or injecting, so don't be afraid to ask for help with your team building!
Here is a list of Pokemon available pre bank for your teams: http://pastebin.com/6SmkqdQQ

REGISTRATION FORM: https://drive.google.com/open?id=16aG16SdJTb_voiY2wjLXHvZQWGw6FqEWPFXyoIEOUTk
TEAM SUBMISSION FORM: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tjytbVzgqd7ODKGyd-uFDewrqelxoACaBkbcJX6ufok
Both of these must be filled out before the 7th of January if you wish to participate.

bug options suck reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I need armaldo/crustle volcarona and galvantula in, araquanid and ribombee replace heracross and yanmega on my final team team
>>
>>30568488
It's certainly gonna be a very different competition to what it has been.
>>
7th for sylveon butts

>>30568536
at least allow buzzwole, not even pheromosa

>>30568488
most types have bad options pre-bank unless you're dragon or normal tbqh

I'm barely into post game. Don't even recognise that second name.

The 2 bug UBs
>>
>>30568675
It makes more sense to either allow them all or ban them all.
I'll be running bug in the tournament and I think that it's surprisingly good. Sure buzzwole might help but I think it's fine. Poison probably gets more dicked than bug.

I mean you got porygon, chansey, a-persian, braviary, bewear, drampa and other stuff, all solid mons
definitely not as bad off as bug is, I think

>>30568675
There's good reason not to allow them, one reason due to not having enough reps of them for every type and the power they present when it comes to mono it can be destructive.
It's the same reason why there's debate on banning megas this time around till we have our bank tourny/seeing if stones are available after bank.
It's only a little healthier this way.
>>
>>30568941
you bring a team of 6 and choose 3 to battle
>>
>>30568862
>tentacruel
>alolan muk
>gengar
>crobat
>toxapex
>salazzle
They will be fine
>>
>>30568941
You still need a team of 6. It's basically battle spot, just a little more restricted.
>>
>>30568197
Are we really doing this again?

I'll be honest with you, I haven't even caught all the Ultra Beasts yet. I doubt I'll want to have any serious battles until Bank updates. EV training sucks balls in gen 7 again, so I'll want to use my old bros to at least facilitate breeding.

Did Daniel buy SM?

Also Hi Callum, you lovable Aussie you.

It's definitely got some good stuff, I won't disagree with that, but I miss my huge selection. A lot of the new normals seem real eh, but I've really only given Bewear and Drampa a chance.
>>
>>30569131
I didnt know e-celebs even did this, it's news to me
>>
>>30568964
Bug has Scizor, by itself an incredible Mon against so many types, golisopod, araquanid, silvally, ribombee, buffed masquerain, vikavolt, hell even scolipede is solid without speed boost due to its movepool. I think you're underselling bug here, sure it misses lots of bank mons but it's really not as terrible as you say, and other types are restrained as well.
>>
>>30569004
yeah, I get that it's just it plays kinda wonky with three, since it's a trick room team. I either have too many trick rooms and not enough sweep or too little trick room and the sweepers can't sweep.
>>
>>30569170
what you listed is about all the good bug types in alola though
>>
>>30568292
Hey, you got Minior and Lunatone got buffed. Rock-type special attackers actually exist, now. That's pretty awesome

>>30569000
Banning all Megas is probably best if we're only doing pre-Bank teams.

Island Scan Pokemon should be legal imo.
>>
>>30569257
Omastar was always my go to. I used Probopass one time, never really had any good opportunities to use it though.
>>
>>30569159
>placing top 8 in a tournament in 2013 using a name on 4chan in a cantonese horsebrushing competition simulator makes you an e-celeb

I am more famous than I realized.
>>
>>30569257
Island scan mons are part of the list in the OP of available pre-bank mons.
So long as they don't have HA that they can't obtain you should be fine to use them.
>>
>>30569214
Yes I don't think bug teams will be diverse by any means but how will buzzwole improve diversity in bug? Everyone will just run it anyway.
>>
>>30569427
I wasnt arguing for UBs, just saying that bug teams will be more or less identical in their roster
>>
>>30569178
you can adjust that team and i'm sure if you ask nicely in these threads some kind anons could help you inject those teams a reality. ;^)
>>
>>30569329
Yeah, but Minior is immune to status above 50% HP and can go mixed. It's so good. I use a Naive one on my in game team. I might just Hyper Train it.
>>
>>30569427
Might have with Silvally too.

>>30569471
Z move flexibility or something. I dunno.
>>
>>30569471
This is just a fact of having 12 fully evolved mons to work with, of which a third are shitmons. Not much that can be done other than waiting for bank, which I don't think anyone wants to do.

>>30569481
It's fine, I have them all already in game, I've just tested it a lot in battle tree and it's a little awkward
>>
>>30569145
Z-Conversion looks like a lot of fun.

No chance in hell I'm breeding another Pory, though. I still have 2 perfect ones in ORAS.
>>
>>30569632
Smogon tree is half random bullshit anyways, you really can only use it as a very rough estimate of performance against other actual people
>>
>>30569590
Depends what you want to get out if the tournament too.

Do you want to have the best team and win?
Do you want to rep your favourite type and try to make it work?
>>
>>30569630
died of meme overdose
>>
>>30569427
not them but scizor is basically the only bug that doesn't get killed right away by rock, any other bug/steel type or heracross didn't make it into SM
>>
>>30569471
Not much can be done about this really, it's unfortunate there isn't a great diverse selection but it gives the thought of using mons you might not use otherwise.
Think of it as a fresh play on the meta before we end up using mons we've all probably seen before used.
>>30569630
Prob busy atm, I'm sure he'll be here soon.
>>
>>30569692
I guess I could try then
>>
>>30569590
I'd like to wait for the Bank update, even if we ban Megas. It updates sometime in January.

Is the goal here to get the tournament over with before college students have to go back? If logistics are the main concern, I understand.

If not, what's a couple extra weeks? Everyone will have better teams. The Alola Dex isn't as good as the Kalos Dex, imo. 2013 worked so well because we had fucktons of variety already.
>>
>>30569738
I haven't done much looking into my team yet, but rock looks like it's going to be weak pre bank.
No doubt i'm overlooking things at this point though.
>>
>>30569890
Whole point is to give pre bank mons a chance to shine before they get curbed for the better mons coming from the bank.
>>
>>30569890
I personally want diversity, not better teams. It'll be fun to have make shit work with what i've got. Can force me to be creative.
>>
>>30569738
Golisopod is strong against rock with bulk and priority aqua jet and Scizor is just so hard for rock to face in general. It's a bad matchup but it's not as bad as some flying matchups last gen with talonflame.
>>30569890
I wouldn't mind waiting, but the constraint encourages usage of specific new mons and gives us a chance to explore a new metagame before bank rolls around and people start rolling gen VI teams again with few changes.
>>
>>30569898
>alolan golem, aerodactyl, rampardos, rhyperior, probopass, buffed gigalith, carracosta, carbink, sun lycanroc, minior
they're good, expect lot of sandstorms
>>
>>30570066
Gonna be fun.
>>
>>30569890
The reason for pre-bank is to promote diversity in mons used, a restricted meta can promote people to use and test stuff they would never otherwise use to make a team that is fun but uses the best that the type can offer at this moment.
It's just a fresh start before we go back into the norm and probably forget about more than half the gen 7 mons in use to later tournys.

I believe it's highly unlikely that Megas will survive since some Monotypes have no Mega pre-bank (Electric, Grass, Fairy, Fire).

In any case, I can inject some stuff for you guys in the meantime. Three Pokemon per person max for today.

Talonflame will destroy most bug teams regardless of meme rocks.

Can Golisopod/Araquanid survive a Talonflame Acrobatics? Golisopod even has to worry about getting burnt.

my nigga, if you can't read a pokemon that's really very easy to predict and counter, I'm afraid there's no helping you. I used aegislash in previous challenges, and it's really not all that it's cracked up to be.
It's a great mon, but it's not anywhere near as bad as t-flame, m-mence, m-gengar, m-gross and m-kanga was last gen.

Nice ad hominem.

I won't pretend like I've scoured the entire Alola Dex and done all the damage calcs to see what we have that can shit on Aegislash, but I guarantee you some types will have no problem with it.

Where you might actually be onto something though, is that too few types might not have a good answer for it.

Bring back some data and facts. Aegislash is fine in 3vs3 if we take Bank into account, so prove that it's busted without Bank.

It isn't as broken as some megas or un-nerfed bird, but it's easily the most broken after that. Stop being so shit at the game, Timmy.

It isn't even worth the effort of trying to convince you faggots anymore. The idea of a monotype tournament is interesting, but it's fucking pointless when you have dumbass rules like no ubs and tapus, but allow aegislash. I could pull all the necessary calcs and evidence and still get a "no" from this stupid circlejerk.

you do know an argument with no facts is completely pointless, right? I'm not stubborn; I can be convinced with calcs/facts but all I've heard is sputtering, dick in hand, drooling nonsense.

Can Meganium survive a Talonflame Flare Blitz? Like, a decent one, not a piss-weak one.

I doubt it could and OHKO with Rock Slide.

My point is, I've been looking at the Alola Dex + Island Scan, and basically Grass is super fucked against Talonflame without access to stuff like Cradily or at least Tangrowth. Even if Leafeon could tank a hit, it can only smack the bird with Return once and then die.

If I'm right, Grass being super shitty in this meta should lead to a Smogonbird ban.
>>
>>30572774
grass has always been fucked by talonflame since day 1 this is no news at all.
>>
>>30572745
None senpai, I know, it sucks. Rock will really miss Omastar this season.

You could try mixed Minior, I guess.
>>
>>30572774
Talonflame got nerfhammered hard. Gale Wings only works when Smogonbird is at full HP

>>30572800
But last gen, Cradily could tank any hit and OHKO. Now Cradily doesn't exist.

>>30572745

Minior.
>>
>>30572879
define tank
because brave bird is a 2hko so you cannot switch into it.
and if its a 1v1 unless your opponent is a retard, he will go for u turn and swith on something that can tank cradily
>>
>>30572879
>>30572809
That's a shame. It's funny to me that rocks got tons of representation this gen, but they only got a couple of special attackers in the dex.

I know, sempai. But if saving Talonflame as your 3rd mon allows you to auto-win against all Grass trainers, that ain't fair. You don't even need the Gale Wings, since there aren't any Grass mons that outspeed Smogonbird in Alola. What's Whimsicott gonna do, pray for full paralysis?

Golem-A Is the best rock special attacker

On the note of Aegislash, I compiled a list of things that have some chance of answering it by type, you'll note that quite a few types are severly lacking.

Anything listed as a shaky check means it has to come in clean and/or be facing the correct set to actually beat aegislash.

Be thankful for Minior. Before gen 7 you basically just had Probopass and Omastar (with a 5PP move).

Lunatone got buffed enough that it could work, but it's not in Alola.

>Grass
>Tsareena leading to stop bravest burd
U-Turn & Flare Blitz with priority Roost

That's my point: nothing Grass has outside of Cradily or Tangrowth stands a chance.

Lunatone, cradily, carbink, and diancie are all good special-attacking rock-types as well. Of course, three of those don't really count because they're not in the dex.

Do any of you think that corsola could be run decently as a special attacker?
>>
>>30572994
Porygon2, Scizor, Staraptor, Whimsicott, and several others on that list can't do shit against Aegislash.

Oranguru can't really either unless you somehow got a Nasty Plot in before Aegislash showed up.

>>30573497
How exactly does P2 "handle" Aegislash when it has Sacred Sword? Aegislash is slower so P2 will likely never hit it with the lower defenses.

Staraptor will get slowly murdered by Iron Head or Sacred Sword, or obliterated by Flash Cannon. It can't even hit it with anything but a weak-ass Heat Wave (if we were playing with Bank mons, even). King's Shield says "hi" to any desperate Brave Bird attempts.

Toxic stall Aegi is not the most dangerous in 3vs3, the 3 attacks + King's Shield/Swords Dance set with Weakness Policy is.

>>30573524
If you love Corsola so much, why don't you marry it?

Is there a limit or tier rule? Like I'm making a ghost team so can I use for example mega sableye?
>>
>>30576074
megas are probably off the board this season due to not every type having access to them

This is essentially Battle Spot. Smogon tiers mean jack shit here.

>>30576317
aegislash is currently under discussion because while it wasn't really an issue for most teams to deal with in previous seasons, this pre-bank meta is way more restrictive and many types cannot counter most if any aegislash sets
ghost has a fairly solid selection of stuff like gengar, dhelmise, chandelure, froslass, mimikyu, palossand, and some others

a lot of types have fairly limited selections of viable mons to use, the real diversity this season is going to be in the loadouts. I'm enjoying the challenge before I go back to the bogstandard team I used in gen 6 with one or two alolamons thrown in.
>>
>>30576435

>>30576515

>>30576401
>>
>>30576515
no one will complain at you for using a pokemon that the rules allow, and the tourney is a month away so you've got plenty of time to raise a substitute in the instance that it does get banned. even if you can't use it this time there's no reason it won't be useable after pokebank drops, since everyone will have access to reasonable checks or counters.

if you need any advice or help with teambuilding, breeding or injecting feel free to ask in these threads as well. good luck anon!

We/they did allow weaker legends on weaker types in the past, just to test the waters, but in the end it came down to stuff like "we hate Heatran so it's banned," aka what Smogon does.

On one hand, Dark & Dragon are strong as fuck and don't need legends (even shitty ones).

On the other hand, blanket banning them is the most fair, anyway.

Yeah, someone made top 8 with ice. I forget what season it was though. Season 2's electric leader ran straight up the ladder with it after people dismissed it as an underdog type after a poor performance in season 1.
Poison is actually pretty good in this meta too. It's cool seeing people pull creative strategies with types that are normally considered to be on the weaker end of the scale and win.

Anytime before the 7th of January. Technically you can take a bit longer cause we generally have a week or so do our first round of battles. Better to start sooner rather than later though to leave enough time for testing and making changes.
>>
>>30578806
You can do it up the 6th of January or whenever you reckon you're happy with it.

If you do submit and change your mind, just resubmit the team section and post in thread, saying you've resubmitted.

I would recommend making a team in pokemon showdown and trying it out to see if you have any glaring weaknesses before breeding out a whole team.

>>30578818
Because your rules are illogical, and the guy in charge is convinced UBs are digimon or something? The bias is pretty huge here. I was interested, but not waiting for bank(so people can have an excuse to use shitmons I guess) and banning stuff because the person in charge just doesn't like them is dumb.

Our rules are logical. "Ban all legends in order to be fair, because not all types get one" is a logical conclusion with zero favoritism. You're the one being upset and appealing to emotion.

Then why isn't Silvally banned? You broke your own rules, due to favoritism. UBs aren't even actual fucking legends, and you can get multiple per game.

Checkmate, autists.

It isn't, that is why its allowed.
If it were an UB, it would be banned.

But it is a legendary, according to the game's files, which is what you live by.

So why isn't he banned? Banning him actually would make teams more diverse, too. I can guarantee most teams will be running one.
>>
>>30579041
If I were in charge, I would have banned Type: Null & Sylvally. And I always use Normal-types, too.

But since Sylvally can change type to all types, it is somewhat fair. Normal still gets the strongest Sylvally, though.

Type: Null should technically be banned regardless, even if it's not that good.

I'm curious about people's thoughts on Porygon2.
Porygon2 is one of the most powerful pokemon in battle spot singles due to its extreme bulk, ability to cripple setup pokemon with thunder wave, and access to recover. Since pokebank is not yet out, many teams will especially struggle to deal with Porygon2 due to the lack of a knock off move tutor. The constraint upon teams placed by the alola dex means that many types lack the fighting coverage or knock off needed to easily deal with Porygon2.
However, Porygon2 can also have problems against opposing status/toxic users, strong choiced attackers, and against opposing set up pokemon that are immune to thunderwave, or have managed to set up against a different pokemon than Porygon2.
If you feel really passionate about this then it'd be better for your point/Callum will be more likely to listen to you if you posted calcs and reason rather than shitposts.

How does him being able to be all types make it fair? That just means you get a free legendary, regardless of type. And don't you dare go "Oh, but Silvally isn't even that good", because you people are banning Guzzlord(who is absolute trash) just for having UB as his title.

Literally Toxic P2 and it dies. Every Pokemon can learn Toxic.

Yes, P2 is stupidly good. No, it likely will never get banned.

If they won't ban Smogonbird to save the treehuggers, then everyone must suffer under the plastic duck.

It doesn't matter if you cry like a bitch, shitpost on threads 24/7 and rage like a fag behind a keyboard, if you don't like it, you are free to leave, but clearly you don't want to leave because apparently you have some sort of sexual arousal for complaining about rules on a tourney you will not even participate.

Banning a mon because it's very strong against one type is ridiculous. Porygon 2 is more than this, in anons case.

Oh no, I totally get that you guys have garbage rules, and don't like my blinding logic leaking through your many cracks.

I'm okay either way with Silvally, however I have a preference that it not be allowed.

Looking at the TM list, it would give bug mono access to a strong special sweeper with Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Surf/Flash Cannon. Access to most of those are limited with bugs unless it matches the secondary typing. I can't think of another good bug that gets flamethrower besides Volcarona, etc. And extremely limited with just the Alola dex.

So it's a free high OU sweeper. But it's not just for me. Everyone will have one. I feel like the meta would end up being who knocks out the others' Silvally first with only other Alolamons as support.

What are you, 12?
>How does him being able to be all types make it fair?
Equality is fair by definition.
>And don't you dare go "Oh, but Silvally isn't even that good"
You are really bad at guessing what I'd say next. I personally think Sylvally is majestic as fuck and quite good in battle. One of my favorite new mons.

Are you lonely? Desperate for replies?
>>
>>30579393
again, you are free to leave.
i know you wont, and its most likely that you will stay on the threads and be the local shitposter and cry like a bitch but oh wheel, at least you will help us get the threads bumped.

Don't like us? The new fuck off
>>
>>30579443
>equality

It's not equal. Normal Silvally is far superior to the others, by being able to use an item.

Not to mention, every type can run a pokemon packing a diverse special movepool, and a fast parting shot.
>>
>>30579342
You could if you want to. It's not necessary though.

>>30579379

>>30579499

>>30579332
A smart Normalfag would run a Bold duck, not a Calm one. You have shit like Blissey and a gaping weakness to Fighting. Full physical defense is more practical.
>>
>>30579531
a smart normalfag would be running eviolite minimize chansey (^:

>>30579342
Not necessary, but later on it will undoubtedly come in handy.
>>
>>30579420
I think you're overestimating silvally. It basically gives a few types a check that they need for other types. I wouldn't say it's a "high OU sweeper" by any means. It has a fantastic movepool sure. But it has lackluster 95 SpA and 95 Speed, and can't run an item. I doubt most types will run it, and probably none at all besides maybe ice post bank.

For the record, I'm 100% behind banning Sylvally. But if Callum wants it, guess what? He's the guy putting in the time to make the google docs, keep us organized, and run this shit. So in the end, whatever he says, goes.

I don't even own a PC, so right now I'm pretty grateful that he's even bothered to keep this fun little tradition alive all these years on this shithole anonymous image board.
