Frequently Asked Questions
What does [move / item / ability] do?
Check out the Smogon Strategy Dex or Pokemon Showdown's Dex. They have lots of great information on competitive Pokemon battling!
What is banned from Monotype?
The Monotype banlist is on the Smogon Strategy Dex too! Note: the Sun & Moon banlist isn't upload at the time this is being written. Instead, see the Monotype Sun & Moon discussion thread.
How does Monotype handle Mega-Evolutions that change typing?
Why can't I use Mega-Gyarados on my Flying team or my Dark team?
When using a mega evolution that changes its typing, the base form and mega evolution must retain the typing of your team.
This means you can only use Mega Gyarados on a Mono-Water team because Mega Gyarados and regular Gyarados only share a Water typing. Similarly, Mega-Aggron can only be used on Mono-Steel, Mega Charizard X can only be used on Mono-Fire, and Mega Altaria can only be used on Mono-Dragon.
