Finally, Nihilego is the team's revenge killer and a nice Flying check that the team currently lacks. Scolipede is the team's wincon and is the main way to win versus Psychic. Crobat offers hazard control and a very important ground immunity. Venusaur-Mega / Muk-A / Toxapex is the best defensive core Poison has and is amazingly effective in the metagame. This is pretty standard Poison Balance which is why I think it would make a good sample team. Here is a sample submission, courtesy of Eien. Finally, if you edit your submission based on feedback (or any reason), please make a note of it at the bottom of the post so I know to re-evaluate. This is not the RMT forum this thread is not the place to seek feedback on undeveloped teams and concepts.ħ. Replays are highly encouraged and are a great way to demonstrate that the team is effective in the metagame. Animated Sun/Moon sprites can be found here.ĥ. Accompanying sprites and art are appreciated, but not mandatory. Please denote your team as Offensive, Balanced or Stall.Ĥ.

If you want to mention alternative options, do so in the team description.ģ. Do not 'slash' moves, abilities, or natures in your importable. Provide both an importable for your team and a brief description. Make sure submissions are in the format.Ģ. The teams showcased in this thread should be representative of the various, viable, relevant play-styles and archetypes present in the Monotype metagame.ġ. While niche tech sets and non-conventional builds (like those seen in RMTs) are not forbidden, submitted teams must be broadly effective and viable in the meta. We will not feature teams using sub-optimal archetypes, such as Mega-Beedrill Poison or Stall Fairy. We will exercise very high standards over which teams are approved. If you're thinking of contributing, great! Please take a moment to read the following. These 'samples' will serve to introduce new players to the meta: showcasing how teams for different types and playstyles are built and acting as a solid foundation for their own team building. The object of this project is to develop a selection of well-built, relevant sample teams for Gen 7 Monotype submitted by experienced players from the Monotype community. Welcome to Monotype Sample Teams, your go-to resource to find Monotype sample teams! I also have an EdgeQuake combination and Substitute to make life easier.Approved by Acast and Eien / Banner by Moosical Taken over from Tyke Excadrill is a good bulky spinner with its brilliant HP. Air BalloonĪs most of my team are weak to Spikes, I needed a Rapid Spinner. Punishment is a new tactic of mine as I am constantly getting beaten by Swords Dance users. It's passable 105 Attack gets DOUBLED by Huge Power, and then don't get me started on Swords Dance. I realized a OP Mega-Evolution was needed on the set I looked at Mawile and fell in love. I'm currently using it as my lead so I can get Spikes in as quick as possible. I also needed a Ground resistance/immunity, so Skarmory fits the job perfectly. As everyone else on the team is weak to Fire, I thought Flash Fire would be helpful by sucking up the opponent's Fire move, so then Heatran can hit back with Earth Power. Pretty simple set here Choice Scarf will make Heatran very fast so he can sweep easier. Protect is used when Ferro maybe needs a bit more healing time, and Gyro Ball is there to stop speedsters. You can set up Rocks while the opponent's life is being sucked away. A lot of Pokemon will get scared after I demonstrate the sheer power of Metagross, so Pursuit is handy on this set. Bullet Punch is STAB and priority, helping out loads because of his terrible speed. Powerup Punch boosts attack as well as damaging, meaning you can spam this to power up the other moves.

I decided to make a Mono-Steel team (Gen 6) based around Metagross.
