3rd Gen mono-type teams, what's yours

Once I get my hands on a Leaf Green game, I'm starting work on a Dark team.

Cacturne

Faint Attack
Needle Arm/Giga Drain
Leech Seed
Toxic/Ingrain

Iron Tail

Absol

Swords Dance

Aerial Ace
Faint Attack (Have to have that Dark move in there ;) )

Tyranitar

It's basically only a gimmick squad, because I like Dark types. I'll end up raising pretty much all of them eventually. (Except Umbreon/Murkrow/Sneasel. Been there, done that in Gold.)

Oooh, I've got a few of these. Here they are, no movesets though... I can't be bothered to go and check:

Water

Lanturn
Kingdra
Swampert
Milotic
Sharpedo
Gyarados

Ground:

Swampert
Camerupt
Sandslash
Flygon
Claydol
Rhydon

I don't think I have any more, although - saying that, I haven't played on RuSa either...

I've never built a mono-type team because if they hppen to have the right type to counter it, then your dead meat. LIke that ground type, for example. Good water of flying types should do the trick.

Very true.. of course, I shouldn't talk, my team really hates ice...

Not necessarily. The movesets you give them can make or break a mono-team. For example, in my Water team, I think about half of them know Ice Beam purely to protect the team from Grass Pokemon. Also, Swampert and Gyarados know Earthquake, making it powerful against Electric Pokemon. In my Ground team, Camerupt is good as it knows moves that take down all of Ground's weaknesses - Flamethrower, Rock Slide, and Hidden Power Grass (too bad it can't learn Solarbeam). So, it all depends on the moveset you give them to see if mono-teams can survive.

P.S. Flying isn't super-effective against Ground. Only Water, Ice and Grass.

I always train different types of pokemon.. not more than one type pokemon in my team..

Groudon lv 89
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Eruption
Solarbeam

Rayquaza lv 100
Dragon Claw
Thunder
Earthquake
Surf

Latios lv 63
Fly
Dragon Claw
Recover
Psychic

Sceptile lv 69
Solarbeam
Leaf Blade
Cut
Rock Smash

Aggron lv 77
Iron Tail
Iron Claw
Surf
Rock Trow

Er, this thread isn't for that. This thread is to post teams that are mono-type. Also, Rayquaza and Latios are both Dragon - so you've broken your thing that says you train different types of Pokemon.

It depends really. An all-Grass team would most likely get stomped by anything, what with their many weaknesses and the popularity of Ice Beam, etc. Whereas a Dark or Psychic squad may fair much better. There aren't many common Fighting/Bug moves to counter Darks (Brick Break, yes. But that's one move), and Psychics are ok until they come up against a Dark type themselves, or a Shadow Ball user with a hefty Attack stat.

Oh well... even if it's 0:9 record so far, I don't thnk that I do all that bad against that Skarmory/Regice/Wheezing/Medicham/Jolteon/Ninjask and what other common Pokemon nowadays... it's not about winning, but using a team that's not standard ^^
