We often talk about how a pokemon designed to be offensive is completely screwed up by its low speed, shallow movepool or underwhelming ability, yet we don't often mention one thing that is an almost surefire way to ruin its offensive potential: being monotype.
Unless a pokemon has a combination of amazing offensive stats, movepool and ability, being monotype is a surefire way to make it outclassed by something else.
As you can see there are only 5 monotype pokemon in OU and only one of them is purely offensive.
Should monotypes be buffed in some way? Maybe with a stronger STAB to make up for the lack of dual STAB?
