===Mono Team=== | ===Mono Team=== | ||
A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain quality, usually [[type]] but sometimes things like species or color. These are more common in Random [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] matches than in serious matches. This is often countered since they can bring in something that has an unadulterated type advantage. For example, one may have a team consisting only of {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, while the opponent may have a {{p|Honchkrow}} with above-average Attack and Speed stats that knows moves such as {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Night Slash}}, used to easily and quickly defeat the all-Ghost team. | A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain quality, usually [[type]] but sometimes things like species or color.

A good mono team is usually able to overcome their weaknesses. An example would be to put the move {{m|Focus Blast}} on a {{p|Gengar}} to counter their {{type|dark}} type weakness. | ||

A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP.
