Monotype Teambuilding Workshop
Monotype Teambuilding Workshop
- Have a one paragraph description with the core / Pokemon you want us to build around and a slight idea of what kind of team you want the end result to be.
- Do not post asking us to make use of unviable Pokemon (a.k.a. not on the Monotype Viability Rankings). This is not a competition to see how good we are at teambuilding; this is us trying to educate people on what is good and how to build effective teams.
- Do not flame people for asking for a certain Pokemon or that they can't build one themselves.
- Each user is allowed one request per week and any user found requesting multiple will have their post deleted
- Please remember that these teams are first drafts and as such will not be perfect. Edit them as you please.
- On that note, you are free (and highly encouraged) to suggest and post changes / critiques you've made to already posted teams that you feel improve them.
- Please refrain from posting teams unless you are an "employee," but if you feel that you would be a valuable asset to the construction of a certain team, PM me.
- Do note that requests for teams built around mons that are below C rank (and unranked) are not allowed as they are generally less viable mons in the tier (C rank is still allowed)

ninetales is a pretty cool mon rn, it has healing wish support, its a fine scarfer for speed control and sets sun, i think this is a better choice than torkoal for the simple reason that ninetales is not passive, it has the power to either attack under sun or support the team with healing wish or memento to setup ogerpon or ceruledge easier anytime so it doesnt easily loses momentum like torkoal does
oger is a pretty strong mon to deal with bad matchups, mold breaker makes sure unaware is not an issue so a good sword dance can easily break through teams, its also a cool way to deal vs dragonite since mold breaker ignores multiscale and play rough will always kill after a SD
arcanine is the breaker of the team + a priority mon when situations gets dire, a choice banded flare blitz can do wonders vs fat teams
ceruledge has been a beast since it got poltergeist, pretty easy to setup too thanks to the focus sash and healing wish support from ninetales
talonflame makes sure the hazards stays away, torkoal gets blocked by ghosts and cinderace can be countered by clicking rocks twice lol, flame body is also very nice in this economy so overall i think its a mon u need
volcanion is the water immunity, i dont have much to say about it aside u rly need it in general, its a pretty annoying mon to deal with
speed control for the team, can trick annoying mons and it helps in the ghost matchup
enough speed to creep the creeper of 218 speed mons like gambit, trapper set to kill annoying mons like toxapex and others, power gem is for volcarona, possible moltres and such
rocker of the team + annoying mon in general with knock and flip turn, surf is good for fire mons and corv since it got competitive u can force the rocks to stay in, the 4 speed evs are needed because its -speed nature so u need to outspeed ursaluna bloodmoon
defogger of the team, standard set p much, the 8 speed evs are for the creepers like kingambit
pretty standard set, i run brick break over low kick because ice can be annoying so breaking aveil is good
demon klefki beats fight and dark on its own, without a klefki i think ud get blasted by dark shifu so i love it, speed is enough to outspeed gambit and azumarill so u dont need to worry too much
and 
for laddering
pretty standard set, its the rocker and the spinner for the team, absolute beast of a mon
cheap ass mon, autowin vs ghost and other types, standard set
there are a few reasons why this thing is scarf and not specs, first of all where its shines the most is in the fight mirror so u want it to outspeed zamazenta and opposite valiant, second of all thanks to trick u can take threats down like volcarona, dondozo and others. destiny bond is also hella funny it can surprise kill possible threats
another cheap ass mon, hp evs are for perfect leftovers number then set is usual iron defense sub set, an absolute beast on such a physical meta. PS: i wouldnt make it max def over max hp to get more def for body press because if u give up on hp u wont be able to take any moonblast and also u dont need more defense
the evs are to live 2 moonblast from flutter mane and enamorus, outspeed ursaluna bloodmoon and creepers and rest is on attack to actually damage mons, i dont think u need extra bulk because its kinda useless if ure doing 0 damage to mons
