The Azure League, Week 2: Mono a Mono!

---------------------------------------------------------
[center]The Azure League
Many years ago, the mightiest trainers ever seen gathered at the
base of a plateau and decided to build a team -- an elite force
that could safeguard the regions and foster the growth of
talented young trainers from the world over. This team is
actually competent and not the one we speak of today. Today is
the dawn of a new age -- of the AZURE LEAGUE![/center]
This prospective series of Pokemon tournaments will be casual
asides to see which Beacon can make it to the top and become the
Azure League Champion! As such, these contests will be largely
unregulated and will be open for any and all Pokemon with any
combination of items, abilities, and movesets. The conditions
for entry are as follows:
1) Duplicate Pokemon or items are prohibited. Especially six
Pinsirs with Guillotine. I'm looking at you. You know who you
are.
2) The following Pokemon are prohibited on the grounds of being
legendary: Arceus, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Celebi, Darkrai, Deoxys,
Dialga, Diancie, Genesect, Giratina, Groudon, Ho-oh, Hoopa,
Jirachi, Keldeo, Kyogre, Kyurem, Lugia, Lunala, Magearna,
Marshadow, Manaphy, Meloetta, Mew, Mewtwo, Palkia, Phione,
Rayquaza, Reshiram, Solgaleo, Shaymin, Victini, Volcanion,
Xerneas, Yveltal, Zekrom, Zygarde.
[center][size=18pt]This week's challenge: [b]Mono a
Mono![/center]
The theme for this intermediate round of the Azure League is
Monotype
HTML http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/monotype/,
a competitive
format that emulates a gym leader's tendency to specialize in a
single type of Pokemon. You will choose any type of your liking
-- Psychic, Dragon, Ground, what have you -- and construct a
team of Pokemon that belong exclusively to that type. So make
like a Brock or get your crying pan ready!
We will be deviating from Smogon standard a bit, so here's a
quick explanation of the rules:
1) One type per team, all Pokemon must share this type. This
does not exclude dual-typed Pokemon (Gyarados can be on a Water
team despite being partly Flying and vice versa).
2) Mega Evolutions can make certain Pokemon valid for teams they
otherwise wouldn't be. For example, Pinsir can be used on a
Flying-type team so long as it's holding its Mega Stone. To use
Gyarados as an example, so long as Gyarados is holding its Mega
Stone, it will be allowed on a Dark-type team.
3) Only one Mega Stone will be allowed per team. But multiple
Pokemon may hold Z-Crystals. Z-Moves still have their once per
battle limit.
We will be holding multiple Monotype tournaments between our
standard bouts over the course of the Azure League's existence.
This will be done until we have 13 Monotype Champions, upon
which we will hold a final tournament for the previous winners.
If you prove victorious against all the other Beacons, if you
defy the odds and become the Azure League Champion we will offer
this:
The ability to become the first official Azure League gym
leader! You will be able to describe your gym, your badge, and
invent the TM that you would award any prospective trainer who
defeated you. Becoming a gym leader will secure your right to
fight in the final tournament, in which we will decide the Azure
League Elite Four and Champion!
So what are you waiting for? The Azure League awaits!

An ancient beast has been roused from its slumber. The drums of
war beat heavily in the distance. Soon, that force shall come
to grips for battle, for the first time in a decade.
Team ARSENAL takes the stage. Declaring Mono Water upfront.
Prepare yourselves!
