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:

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.

Remu Mina !h09Mj8uAng
>>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.

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.

>>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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

P2 handles non SD non Toxic sets fairly well, Scizor can handle it alright with SD/Roost/Night slash defensive sets.

>>30573436 Yes.
>>30573488 Actually Aniny, poison has been my go to type nowadays.
Aniny !guyK6p/mWE
>>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.

>>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.

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.

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.
