The Top 5 Types in Competitive Monotype Pokemon

I love how each type's playstyle fits their type. Dragon is powerful, Electric strikes fast, Steel is steady, etc.

Monotype Poison is great because it has three pokemon with Regenerator that go on every team no matter what and Sheer Force Life Orb Nidoking just shreds half the tier with a correct prediction

Mono ghost is pretty nice now that they added poltergeist and dragapult, at least compared to previous gens

Recently got into monotype and I love it it's a breath of fresh air

I like playing Monotype Normal simply because it’s fun to use a type that it’s considered boring and win teams like 6 dragons just with a Porygon2 (and a Bunny with strong legs in National Dex)

I'm gonna be honest, I strongly disagree with mono-Water not being #1, let alone top 5. As a mono-dragon user I absolutely think Water is a better type than it is. No other type has that perfect balance of weather abuse, bulk, strong STABs, good typing, great walls, and great wallbreakers/sweepers. The only bad matchup it truly has is vs Rillaboom, everything else it can outplay with the right setup. It's obviously not unwinnable, but mono-water doesn't have to overstretch itself to patch offensive/defensive holes like others do.

The funny thing its that with flying you can even use a Rain Offense. Pelipper, Zapdos/Thundurus, Swift Swim Mantine, and others... so nice lol

My favourite aspect of Monotype is when it leads to the usage of usually untiered Pokemon, for example in Gen VII Alolan Golem was on almost every Electric team just because it happens to be the only Electric type with Stealth Rock and on every Rock team because Magnet Pull helps in the Steel type matchup

Ice is notable for being the most volatile team type, one player is always going to lose very hard and it's not always clear which.

Monotype is really fun, it's interesting to see how people decide to build their teams

Monotype bug is a relatively niche choice. With access to offensive threats like Quiver Dance Volcarona, Swords Dance Guts Heracross, etc., Bug types, with their common poison dual typing, can counter Fairy, Psychic, and Dark.

Surprised mono water didn't make the list, from my surface level point of view it seems like it has ways to deal with it's weaknesses both defensively and offensively

Loving the Hoenn-themed song choices for each time! :D Oldale/Lavaridge, Zinnia, Gym, Steven, and Fortree

11:12 I can't believe Freezai forgot rookidee, and corvisquire, those are HUGE threats who are pure flying type

I'm a big fan of ground as a monotype. So many strong attackers while also having a defensive backbone with mons like, Garchomp and Landerous-Therian. You have some interesting ways to deal with some of your weaknesses like water absorb Gastrodon for water types, Thick Fat Mamoswine for ice, Nidoking for grass and so on.

What an interesting format! I love the idea of building teams like a gym leader. I'd love to see more videos about it

I love NathanLoveChicken's monotype content so it's super cool to see you get into the tier too!

I've been sick and haven't slept for a week, so I had to watch this video twice to follow along properly, but I REALLY enjoyed learning more about the monotype format and I hope you do make more videos about it! Thank you for treating us to so many fascinating commentaries!

Really looking forward to your two next videos in the format, they sound very interesting !

Really hope you continue this series! monotype was always one of my favourite metagames back before I actually started to gain some game sense and learned how to get better (at least, a little better) at competitive pokemon. Water type teams were always my go to, and I vaguely remember and electric and flying team as well. I'd been thinking about getting back into it, might give it a shot because of this video! time to bring back my anti-water lapras and see what it can do in the modern meta
