Is it possible to make a competitive monotype Pokemon team? Which types are the best for achieving this?

I'm guessing water could work pretty well due to Drizzle.

Bug:

Fortress Scizor Volcarona Heracross Galvantula and Ninjask

You'll need to carry Fortress or Armaldo though for rapid spin

Great on paper, terrible on practice. You literally no safe switch-ins to flying-type moves since both Lucario and Terrakion aren't exactly bulky, and Cobalion is a terrible excuse for a Pokémon. Same goes for Psychic- you could technically use a Bulky Gallade to patch that weakness, because Scrafty is a terrible Pokémon to use in the current OU meta.

>>12010565
Steel, Ground, Water, and Poison are all pretty usable, even if you're forced to run one or two specific mons per team (ie, mono ground forces you to run one out of Gliscor/Garchomp/Landorus + Storm Drain Gastrodon.

Poison pokemon are 2shitty to even put on a normal team, I'd like to see anyone justify making an entire team of them. Might as well make an ice team.

I used a monotype Ice team for a while. I think it was:

Frosslass, Glaceon, Cloyster, Mamoswine, Weavile and Abomasnow.

It was alright, nothing special but could hold it's own. I'd like to try Bug sometime though.

Flying is the most diverse type, Fighting is nice as long as you can hold fliers (don't listen to him, Cobalion IS good) and water is demi-broken (rape train if drizzle is allowed).
Others are novelties, but Ground, Electric, Ghost and Ice (Snow Warning) can work great. Steel has many resistances (Bronzong says hi), and the others are still fun to play.

Ground in my opinion would be the strongest monotype you can run. Something like Hippodown to set up sandstorm. Then you've got a plethora of strong and versatile pokemon for the next 5 slots. I'd go with
Mamoswine
Garchomp
Nidoking
Swampert
Excadrill

Or you can go with steelix or torterra or Landorus or whatever. Point is, you've got 6 powerhouses with top notch bsts and excellent bulk

Water is the strongest. Most diverse, most powerful [esp. with Drizzle; HAHAHHAHAHAHA if Swift Swim], most synergy.

Flying is also really nice due to the variety of types/roles it has. Fighting is mostly Choice Scarfed Close Combats.
>>12013363
This presents some nice options, though I wouldn't use Ice, and instead replace it with Bug or Poison.

Grass is pathetically bad, and I say it with it being my favorite type.

>>12010808
Poison's a decently strong Monotype, due to mostly gen 1 representatives [Gengar, Tentacruel, Venusaur] and a few others that shine with such type limitations [Drapion, Crobat, etc]. It's not as bad as you make it out to be.

Done psychic before.
It's maiden 5 matches were 4-1
It's surprisingly good, I think mine was Reuniclus, Alakazam, Metagross, Victini, Slowking and Deoxys-D (back when he was OU)

What about secondary typing? Ie, grass/flying is different from flying/grass?
