I found the sap sipper giraffe! Unfortunately, I fell for the "I can sucker punch it so I WILL sucker punch it" trap and it ended up costing me the game in the long run, but it was worth it tbh

I've been doing mono teams for the masterball climb every season, and this season I made a horrible mistake: Allowing my friend to talk me into doing grass types. I think this was probably the least fun I've had with any team (And that's even with chesnaught becoming a recent favorite of mine). Grass types have FIVE weakness, the most of any type (matched only by rock) and zardy covers 2 of those. This was actually not the worst threat though, since meowscarada can outspeed it and just throw a silly little rock at it and it implodes. In general, fire types were not as bad as I thought they would be, mostly because they weren't as common as THE GOD DAMN BIRDS. I tried using mow rotom to combat them, but I just didn't have any luck, it just died too easily.

This was the first team where I actually tried looking into teams that were built by others, because I was about ready to give up entirely if I couldn't make something work. The one I found had the build for the chesnaught and meowscarada that I used, but unfortunately I can't credit that person because I can't find the post I stole it from. Most of everything else in that team was changed anyway, the only other pokemon I kept was whimsicott and the moves I used are different from the ones that were originally on it. Trick room was replaced with protect for a while, but I added it back near the end and then never ended up using it anyway

In the last 2 seasons I made posts for reaching masterball using ice and dark types. Since people enjoyed those posts I am sharing this team as well, which is using ghost types. As usual, this went for the entire ladder, starting at pokeball 4 all the way to masterball. I think this has been my favorite team so far, because no one expects the trick or treat gourgeist. Underused pokemon with a unique and underused signature move.

Last season I made an ice type only team and reached master ball tier using only that. When I posted about that, people seemed to enjoy it so I am sharing this team as well. Like before, I have used only dark types from pokeball rank 4 all the way to master ball rank 4.

If this type of post is old/annoying, feel free to let me know. I don't frequently visit this sub, but I remember last time it was flooded with "I reached masterball posts" and now there is hardly any mention of it. I am hoping that the monotype team makes this unique/interesting enough that people aren't bothered by it, and if people are interested I plan to make a new one each season with a different type

This was kinda fine when it was just the somachord tones scattered across the starchart, but even then it was still annoying. Now, there has been many more tracks added, and it's just a really long and annoying scroll to find the song you want. I know the title asks for a better UI, but really just a basic search function would do a lot to alleviate this.

From pokeball rank 1 to masterball 4, I have exclusively used ice type pokemon. I initially just wanted to see how far I could get and after some time I thought I would stop at ultra ball tier. When I made it, I took a break and saw someone post that they did it with only fairy types and I thought, shit if they can do it maybe I can. It definitely required a lot of strategizing and tinkering around with the team to get something that works, even against metas like charizard/sneasler, but it was fun to do, like solving a puzzle.
