>>38133004>If the type representation ends up needing multiple Pokemon of the same line (eg. Snover and Abomasnow in the same team in DP), or especially an off-type mon (eg. Octillery in the very next gym, same gen) then it's better off being <6.Mono-type gyms are a cancer. Teams should be more thematic than "dude just give them every metal type in the game", especially near the end of the game. They're more interesting, challenging, and enjoyable. Pokemon Stadium understood this perfectly.
