I think monotypes should have some benefit being monotype that is exclusive to them.
>let them resist stuff slightly better and STAB slightly better. Bot sure how much but maybe like X1.6 or x1.55 versus x1.5 for STAB?
>or let them gain extra bonuses when using a move of the same type or rather select moves of the same type.
It can either be one or the other or both. Like for some moves with a % chance of an effect for a monotype the effect is either stronger like 2 stage stat drop instead of 1/it drops 2 separate stats instead, or the proc rate is higher so it's 25% instead of 15%. It can be different for each move on a move by move basis so some moves can gain entirely new effects like Aqua ring staying on the field for allies in the mono water switches out or Leech Seed draining stronger if a mono Grass sets it. I think it's neat idea but it would probably make balancing harder.
