Type Expert - Season III
Approved by - Eien, Moosical, Vid
Banner made by - Ticken

Welcome to the third rendition of Type Expert! This time around will be hosted in a similar fashion as Season II ranging from the start date and times to how the tournament will function. As always, there will be an easily accessible bracket on a spreadsheet to allow for early preparation and transparency throughout the event. In addition, this season will still feature all 18 types twice and use the same scoring system of 5 points awarded to the winner, 3 to the runner-up, and 1 to both semi-finalists. The tournaments will be hosted on Monday and Friday, 1 PM EDT and 6 PM EDT (EDT is GMT -4) for each week for 9 weeks. (Look below for the scheduled start date). Ticken will host both 1 PM EST tournaments while I will host both 6 PM EST tournaments each week for the event.

Monothreat:
(From the Mono OM Mega thread)
"Monothreat is the premier OM featured in Monotype exclusively. As the name suggests, it is a Monotype battle where both players use the same type. Given that both players are using the same type, they can build around very specific threats and run Pokémon that counter their own type. This leads to interesting developments, seeing Pokémon and sets be used that would not likely be seen otherwise in competitive Monotype play."

Teambuilding Tip / Advice: Do not rush the teambuilding process by relying solely on pokemon with a dual typing that has the instinctive advantage. I.e. Tropius or Vileplume on Grass or Magcargo on Fire. Scroll through their move pools for inspiration and play with custom EV spreads, with the use of the Damage Calculator, to fully optimize your teams. The Pokemon usage pool for most types is rather limited so try to refrain from 252/252/4 EVs where you can and be creative!

Type Expert Rules

- Scouting is strictly prohibited and will be banned at the start of each tournament. No recreations due to accidentally or intentionally incorrect teams will be tolerated.
- Participants are allowed to switch teams at the beginning of each round at their discretion.
- Users may join all 36 tournaments regardless, even if they have won the previous Monothreat for its respective type.
- Flaming from anyone in this thread is strictly prohibited. (Flaming is drama started by one or more parties.)
- Report to Ticken or Nexecutioner about any issues regarding the spreadsheet.
- Battles are to be done ONLY in tournaments hosted in the Monotype Event room on the main PS server to count for this event.
Type Expert will begin the week of Monday, April 8th, 2019.

Slight update to week 9. I will be out of town on Friday, June 9th, so I will host both tournaments on the 3rd and ToxaNex will fill in for me on the 9th. Another note is thanks to The Consort for updating the layout and making the sheet more automatic with me, I appreciate the work you did!

And with that, Type Expert Season III is concluded! Congrats to The Consort and Nexecutioner for placing second and third, respectively, and to K3ppr for narrowly placing fourth in the event! I would also like to thank, in no particular order, Decem Perish Song MetaRiolu7 Kev maroon for helping create each tournament and putting up with manually DQing while the bot was down. The event truly wouldn't have been what it was without you guys.

This is the final Type Expert for SM Monothreat but hopefully not the final Type Expert! There are plans for one final Monothreat event, as we did last year, to close out the SM era. Use this event as a practice for the upcoming tour if you plan on participating. thanks again to everyone who participated and/or helped throughout the process!

Moosical can you lock this thread pls and ty :)
