Pokemon Type Challenge Ideas & Strategies
🎯 What is a Monotype Challenge?
A Monotype Challenge is one of the most popular Pokemon challenge runs where you play through an entire game using only Pokemon of a single type. For example, in a Water-type monotype run, you can only use Pokemon that are Water-type or have Water as one of their types. This challenge tests your knowledge of type matchups, team building, and strategic thinking.
Best Monotype Types for Beginners:
- Water Type - Abundant Pokemon options, great defensive typing, few weaknesses
- Flying Type - Immune to Ground, excellent coverage, available in every game
- Normal Type - Only one weakness (Fighting), diverse movepool options
- Fairy Type - Strong defensive typing, resistances to common types
Challenging Monotype Types:
- Ice Type - Many weaknesses, limited Pokemon options in most games
- Dragon Type - Late-game availability, weak to Ice and Fairy
- Ghost Type - Limited options in earlier generations
- Bug Type - Many weaknesses, often weak early-game Pokemon
⚔️ Dual Type Challenge Rules
The Dual Type Challenge allows you to use Pokemon of two selected types. If you choose Grass and Fire, you can use pure Grass-types, pure Fire-types, or dual Grass/Fire Pokemon. This offers more flexibility than monotype while still providing a unique challenge experience.
Recommended Dual Type Combinations:
Unique offensive coverage, few shared weaknesses
Strong defensive synergy, great coverage
Resistances to common attacking types
Excellent defensive typing, cancels Fire weaknesses
Rare but powerful offensive combination
Immunity to Electric, excellent coverage
💎 Rarest Pokemon Type Combinations
