What is Monothreat?
Monothreat is the premier OM featured in Monotype exclusively. As the name suggests, it is a Monotype battle where both players use the same type. Given that both players are using the same type, they can build around very specific threats and run Pokémon that counter their own type. This leads to interesting developments, seeing Pokémon and sets be used that would not likely be seen otherwise in competitive Monotype play.

General Rules, Mechanics, and Usage Tips
- Examine all of your options in the team builder. Pokemon that are viable in Monothreat do not necessarily match up with those that are viable in standard Monotype.
- Monothreat's team pool is very limited, meaning you can prepare for a small number of threats.
- Obvious choices would be Pokemon that have attacks super effective against their own typing but try to think of out of the box sets that are useful against your own type.
- Type damage-reduction berries are extremely useful in Monothreat. Pokemon will likely be mainly using attacks super effective against the type, therefore the berries can be strategically used to live certain attacks and KO your opponent back.
- Each Monothreat type forms its own metagame within itself, effectively making 18 different metagames to play!
Banlist
Monothreat follows the standard SV Monotype ban list.
