Monothreat: (From the OM page on the Monotype Website)
Easily one of the most recognizable tournament types to have been recently developed in the room - Monothreat requires every player to use the same type team as declared by the tournament host. For example: If the host says that the tournament is “Mono Water Only” or “Monothreat Water” that means participants may only enter with a water monotype team. The overall idea is to outplay your own type-matchup.
Keep in mind these are not the only Pokemon ever used in the Monthreat type you are interested in. These are just the most commonly used pokemon people tend to choose when building their teams. For this reason, we have explained why people chose those pokemon specifically and what sets people normally give them. Just because one pokemon like Volcanion on Fire Monothreat or Hawlucha on Fighting Monothreat is on every team, does not mean we are going to ban it because you do not know how to deal with that threat. That is where this guide comes in handy!
Monothreat Competitions:
Unlike the Monothreat Events in the past which were known to do well, most notably Monothreat Monthly, we feel the performance of many individuals will shine in different categories.
Monothreat Monthly is based around who has the most consistent win rates across all types. Although that is how MPL Monothreat players were chosen, it did not show the complete package to which they needed to perform with such pressures like team play and even no teambuilding time limits. As such, Ticken, Average Fella, and Misaka Mikoto have chosen different events to test players in different areas of Monothreat in order to see which user has the most rounded Monothreat knowledge. Each event will have the span or a month from beginning to end. Every Monothreat event will be every other month meaning one month we do an event, the next month no event and it continues in the same pattern.

~Monothreat Tournaments~
The Monotype Room on the main PS server has many Monothreat Tournaments throughout the day whether it be at 4PM pacific or 2AM pacific. Every Monothreat Tournament type gets randomly selected by the host or if this Guide needs more replays for a particular type. These Tournaments typically have about 40 entrants depending on the type and the time in which they are registering users.
* Most Common Room Auth to start a Monothreat Tournament: Misaka Mikoto *
Current Event:
Type Expert
Type Expert is the introduction of the Monothreat Monthly transferring from most side servers to the main server for recognition into MPL. Unlike the Monothreat Monthly, where there were three consequent Monothreat Tournaments, there will be 1 Monothreat Tournament on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, respectively for 6 weeks within the newly acquired Monotype Events Room! The Monothreat Tournaments will start ~5PM EST after the OM Tournament has finished. Each participant will have the whole week leading up to the Monothreat to make and perfect their teams. There will be not Team Scouting but Team Switching and Team Editing are allowed.
First Place - 5 points / Second Place - 3 points / Third Places - 1 Point each
