Here's something nobody asked for and Idk if anybody needs: Mono GG. Felt like making some stuffs due to Arceus coming back meaning Grass, Bug and Rock don't need to cope with an unviable god like in gen 8.

Some commentary: Ground is almost helpless against Ice, Bug is probably the worst, Rock is almost helpless against Ground, Ice is really weak against hazards, interesting to debate whether to ban Damp Rock or Swift Swim, I swear I'm not playing favorite for Normal, blobs were free in gen 8, I literally just took 5 top mons in Monotype VR and added Eternatus, they literally have the perfect slots to go in though you can change Gouging Fire with Hoodra.

Hey, thank you for even taking the time to post this, and even took the time to make some teams. Godly Gift looks very interesting and at first I was confused on how it worked. But FadedCharm explained to me and now I see this as a fun om to play with and see what we can do as a community. I would love to see how others feel about the idea of Mono GG, so please respond yall. Tell us how you feel. :D

Godly Gift exists as an OM so maybe this is an easier challenge code?

/challenge [user], Godly Gift @@@ Same Type Clause, Terastal Clause

Anyway looks like a cool OM! Obviously my first team had to be Fez Fairy :D

I want to try actually pushing Mono Ubers (Godly Gift has potential ngl) but we actually have enough ubers to make this worthwhile. I've hosted some Ubers tours from time to time in the mono room for a decent user count (15-20).

What is Freed in Mono Ubers?

Pokemon Unbanned: :annihilape::arceus:(x18):calyrex-ice::chi-yu::blaziken::deoxys::deoxys-attack::dialga::dialga-origin::eternatus::giratina::giratina-origin::groudon::ho-oh::iron-bundle::kyogre::kyurem-black::kyurem-white::lugia::lunala::magearna::mewtwo::necrozma-dawn-wings::necrozma-dusk-mane::palafin::palkia::palkia-origin::rayquaza::reshiram::shaymin-sky::solgaleo::urshifu::zacian::zamazenta-crowned::zekrom:
Moves/Abilities Unbanned: Shadow Tag, Booster Energy, Smooth Rock, Last Respects (:basculegion::houndstone:), Shed Tail (:cyclizar::orthworm::sceptile:)


Why I have not included Calyrex-Shadow, Koraidon, Miraidon, Zacian-Crowned?
These guys are simply broken asf not much else.

What types would be the strongest in Mono Ubers?

Dragon is a noteworthy type in Mono Ubers. Having access to 13 (includes formes) strong asf Pokemon that are all varied in what they can do makes Dragon pretty much near the top of viability in terms of types in Mono Ubers. Fairy, Steel, Water and Psychic also look to be very strong.


Challenge Code
/challenge gen9monotype @@@ +Annihilape, +Arceus, +Calyrex-Ice, +Chi-Yu, +Blaziken, +Deoxys, +Deoxys-Attack, +Dialga, +Dialga-Origin, +Eternatus, +Giratina, +Giratina-Origin, +Groudon, +Ho-Oh, +Iron Bundle, +Kyogre, +Kyurem-Black, +Kyurem-White, +Lugia, +Lunala, +Magearna, +Mewtwo, +Necrozma-Dawn-Wings, +Necrozma-Dusk-Mane, +Palafin, +Palkia, +Palkia-Origin, +Rayquaza, +Reshiram, +Shaymin-Sky, +Solgaleo, +Urshifu, +Zacian, +Zamazenta-Crowned, +Zekrom, +Shadow Tag, +Booster Energy, +Smooth Rock, +Last Respects, +Shed Tail

Example Team
:ninetales-alola::chien-pao::calyrex-ice::iron-bundle::kyurem-black::arceus-ice:
https://pokepast.es/df9c4baa0c51148d

Calyrex-Ice has always been one of my favourite ubers pokemon in recent times and it is a nice addition to have on Ice. Trick Room can straight up sweep teams on its own thanks to high damage output and massive bulk meaning Ice Rider is not getting revenge killed easily. Weakness Policy works so well because of its weakness laded typing and bulk to survive attacks in the first place. Calyrex at +2 is already killing most things, and its attack will continue to rise with each KO. Iron Bundle also has its Booster Energy legal so that's good for it.

A few first impressions on Godly Gift (which is very fun and I recommend you all try it).
Here's an updated challenge code: /challenge [user], Godly Gift @@@ Same Type Clause, Terastal Clause

Arceus is definitely a centralizing presence for the simple reason that most types don't have a better God. While there are more exotic Gods on other types that certainly deserve exploration (Calyrex-Ice and Kyu-B on ice are both really interesting to give Chien-Pao an absurd Atk stat, for instance), most types and most Pokemon appreciate Arceus's 120 across-the-board stats, especially in Spe. This makes the 120 base speed benchmark an extremely important one in that literally any sweeper you want can be elevated to 372 Spe and scarfers/dedicated fast Pokemon need to exceed this number. In addition, 120 attacking stats mean you can run some weird sweepers or even use a traditional physical attacker as a special attacker and vice versa. Of course, Arceus itself is also a potent sweeper - either physical or special - that needs to be accounted for.

Here are some of the teams that I've been using. Not all of them are... good... but nonetheless I've had a lot of fun theorycrafting them. Thanks to boomp611 for helping me test.

:ogerpon-cornerstone: :arceus-rock: :iron-boulder: :coalossal: :rhyperior: :rampardos:
Rampardos with 120 Spe. Need I say more? Arceus's 120 base stats also help Rhyperior patch up its weak SpD, making its Weakness Policy set more threatening. The other Pokemon get a bit of extra bulk, which is nice I guess but there's room for improvement.

:ninetales-alola: :chien-pao: :kyurem: :baxcalibur: :sandslash-alola: :calyrex-ice:
Calyrex-Ice provides some great defensive stats (100/150/130 bulk) but the real kicker is giving Chien-Pao a 165 base atk stat (which Sword of Ruin elevates to an effective 236 base Atk). Calyrex-Ice is a potent sweeper in its own right and doesn't even have to give its low Speed stat to anybody. Some of these mons should probably be monitored if this OM ever gets to a point that warrants its own tiering action.

:ogerpon-wellspring: :jumpluff: :arceus-grass: :meowscarada: :hydrapple: :torterra:
Fun little grass team. Ogerpon-H is restricted in base GG rules unfortunately so Ogerpon-W needs to be used instead. Jumpluff is interesting, having access to Swords Dance and Strength Sap, but is overall underwhelming. That said, Torterra is a real threat with 120 base Spe. It can run Jolly to speed tie with max base 120s or Adamant for more damage while still having an excellent 339 Spe and access to Shell Smash. Special Meowscarada is perhaps not optimal, but Nasty Plot, special stab coverage, and an extremely important 123 base Spe makes it a very interesting option nonetheless, courtesy of Arceus's base stats.

:scizor: :araquanid: :volcarona: :volbeat: :arceus-bug: :heracross:
This team is just messing around. It is a webs team with five sweepers and it features Volbeat of all Pokemon. While Volbeat's base SpA is only 47, this gets elevated by Arceus to the point where it can actually act as a sweeper (ideally with webs support) because it for some reason has access to Tail Glow. This is part of what makes building Godly Gift so fun in my opinion. (Of course, nothing about this is optimal, but come on, when you have the opportunity to use Volbeat you take it.)

Godly Gift is definitely an OM that deserves more exploration. The fact that every type has an Arceus helps balance things to some extent, making it possible to build and use many types. That said, some Pokemon like Chien-Pao should definitely be monitored.

Playing Godly Gift Mono more and more makes me see the potential in the metagame. With a few tweaks here and there i can see it being develop to a fun om to play. Alot of types has potential and thats what I love about the OMs in general. More types being viable and creatitvity is what makes it fun. I encourage my fellow OMs enjoyer to please speak their opinions about them so we can keep growing as a community. Every voice matters!
With that being said, if there are people who want to play GG but dont really know how the building work i'll explain it. Each Pokémon receives one base stat from a God (Restricted Pokémon) depending on its position in the team. If there is no restricted Pokémon, it uses the Pokémon in the first slot.

Example: If I slap :Arceus: in the first slot on my team (God) then lets say I want my :cinncino: to have more physical attack, I would put cinccino in the second slot. You put your teammates in order of the stat line. First slot=God, Second Slot= Physical Attack, Third Slot=Physical Defense, Fourth Slot=Special Attack, Fifth Slot= Special Defense, and Sixth Slot=Speed.

A example of a GG Mono team comp is like this:

:Arceus: :Cinccino: :Blissey: :Porygon2: :Braviary: :Zoroark-Hisui:

:Arceus: is the ideal God pick due to its 120 Stat line in all Stats. I wanted :Cinccino: to have more attack so I slotted it second. :Blissey: poor physical defense is what keeping Blissey to be an amazing wall so I decided to slot Blissey in the third slot. :Porygon2: has decent stats already so I just decided to slap Porygon2 in the Special attack slot (Fourth slot). :Braviary: is always being a Physical wall for the team so slapping Braviary in the 5th slot to help on the Special Defensive side. :zoroark-hisui: last member on the team, I wanted to bump its speed, so I slotted Hisuian Zoroark last. You can also swap slots Porgon2 with Hisuian Zoroark if you want for a speedy wall >:). Hopefully this helps yall when crafting a team! If i missed something or made an error please let me know. Also shout out to Ethereal Sword for battling me in GG so i can gather Data :)

Happy Building yall! :D Also once again shout out to FadedCharm for explaining it to me when i first ask :D

Hey my fellow Mono OM enjoyers, I'm back at it again with to kind of help new players on what to look for in Monotype AAA. Monotype AAA is a fun om due to the creativity from building a team. What I love the most about it is being shock on what ability the mon has for it as its just a big guessing game. But I'm here to help with what to look for (Take it as like a beginners guide). With that being said, lets begin yayyy. Im going to put like the go to abilites for each viable mon on the type (in my opinion).Also remember you can only have one ability per team. That means you cannot have a full team of Regenerator.

Hey OM! I was testing with boomp611 a mixed OM! In this case, Monotype AAA with CAP!
This is the challenge code: /challenge gen9almostanyability@@@+cap, -crucibellite, Same Type Clause, terastal clause
It's like regular mono AAA but with more options, for example:
:snaelstrom: Prankster for Sticky Web and Stealth Rock
:Pajantom: Corrosion to Toxic and trap with Spirit Shackle
:Mollux: Give it Water Absorb/Storm Drain or Earth Eater for good immunities

Been hosting Monotype Ubers for a minute. It's been very interesting to see and i see potential in the metagame. Thank all the people whos been participating in the tours so I can gather data for the metagame. Y'all the true MVPs :D. So far the popular types I've seen popular is Steel, Ice, and Water teams. Honestly I'd thought I would see Dragon alot. Fairy seen some play but that was mostly just E Sword using it. Once again yall please do not hesitate to share your thoughts, opinions, and teams as it helps us grow as a community!

The development of Mono Ubers is flourishing each day as we speak. From the tours we create, simple challenges, and behind the scences works is making it a promising metagame. With that being said I'm did a little type VR for mono ubers in my opinion from top of the table being the strongest to the bottom of the table being not really good. Hope yall like it, please do not hesitate to speak/share your thoughts and opinions as it helps us grow!

Hey my fellow OM enjoyers, back at it again with a lil resource dump! I've notice when tour nights happen, people always ask: "Is there any sample teams?" Hopefully this encourages people to send teams and thoughts on the OMs to help it grow! Shout out to Mada, Toy Time King, FadedCharm, Fraolain, Trichotomy, theironpikachu, twinkay, silveruby, and me boomp. Some might be outdated but use this as a starter for helping build for the OMs <3

Hello my fellow OM enjoyers I'm back at it again with my lil guide to AAA. Triple AAA is a amazing om that you guess it is Almost Any Ability. This little post I will be going over my little thought process on what I look for in a AAA team. Hopefully this encourages new players to be creative when building teams. Basically what I look for in a Triple A team is what was holding a mon back from being top tier/broken in my opinion. For example: :heatran: Heatran on steel is amazing due to its bulky/ immunity for the team. But, what was holding heatran back imo was the fact it was quad weak to Ground. So you guessed it, I slap Earth Eater on my heatran to nullify that weakness. Next I need team options, :gholdengo: Gholdengo compliments heatran for being fighting immunity for the team but good as gold is banned. Depending on what I want Gholdengo to do is when I pick between abilities. Do i want it to wall break? slap Beads of Ruin or Magic Guard + Life Orb. Do I want it bulky? slap Fluffy or any of the immunites like Levitate, Flash Fire, Well-Baked Body. I decided to go with fluffy as it can handle more physical threats easier. Now I look at my core and see I'm weak to fire, Flash Fire is a nice immunity but none of my teammates be sides heatran would benefit from flash fire. I decide to slap Well-baked body on my :skarmory: Skarmory or :corviknight: Corviknight. Both benefits from WBB due to having their defense doubled after being hit with a fire move. Oh I forgot to mention its fire immunity as well. So now I have my immunity core. Now its just about filling in the rest of the team. :archaludon: Archaludon compliments the team due to its utility, bulk and still able to use Stamina as its ability if it really wanted to. Or you can go crazy and run a Primordial Sea E shot set as well >:). I decided Primordial Sea for giggles. :kingambit: Kingambit is a solid option on steel teams due to being a grate wincon in the late game with Supreme overlord. But what if I wanted to win the game more earlier with the King?! I decided to go Adaptability because at the end of the day I'm basically going to just be clicking Kowtow or Sucker Punch, so why not amplify the damage. Lastly I want speed control for the team so I decided to go with :iron treads: Choice Scarf Iron Treads. Quark drive is just a meh ability already so I wanted to go with a better ability to help with its revenge killing potential: Sword of Ruin. With that I came with this skeleton for a team! https://pokepast.es/a2df134d752bd520 Most of the time whats stopping a mon from being great is just slapping a immunity ability on it. But at that point your more predictable in matches.

Mon consider: :goodra-Hisui: - great specially defensive wall for the team. Hopefully this helps yall get the feel of AAA and would love to see what teams the community come up with as well! Please do not be afraid to post and share your thoughts, lets grow together! And like always happy gaming. <3

Hey besties, this thread was fun while it lasted. However, I am retiring it since every metagame has its own thread in the subforum now. Lets develop these metagames!

Oh also, for minor OMs like Godly Gift etc that people have posted about, we will create a new thread for those to still be talked about. I will also transfer those type of posts into the new thread!
