Ideas for a mono-run that is no dragon?

[Vhandrake 19]

Hey there guys! Recently i asked some dragons for a dragon run, apparentely i'll get them by Monday! But i can't have a single run at the time, that's just not me! So what other mono-run do you guys recommend? I'm very interested in Psyquic/Steel/Dark and maybe fighting.. Any ideas? And if so, any advices on how to make the team? 

[Wolfox 2093]

i'd say steel, fairy or psychic

Alright, steel will be! I will hate to start with Piplup, but i'll give it a go! Now, as far as i know, there are not that many early game steel Pokémon, am i right?

I suggest you Steel Mono Run; and i advice you some mons

- Magnezone

- Excadrill or Aggron

- Skarmory

- Lucario

- Aegislash

- Metagross

 

P.S. if you want i have a Magnezone but his lvl is 61 

[Zarc 1571]

Metagross , magnezone , exadrill , lucario , aegilash , empoleon

Aegilash? I was thinking pretty much the same thing as you both, But Aegilash seems to be pretty unrealiable, i mean, it's really strong but it's not fast enough to deal with damage received... I was thinking something like a Bisharp... Or idk... 

[Zarc 1571]

my bad i forgot scizor , it's good 

 

 

scizor , aggron , klinklank 

[LykosHand 1173]

Yeah Zarc is right, if you are not convinced of Aegislash, Scizor is always a good mon.

As long as your opponent is not a special attacker, you should be able to easily cut their power with kings shield.  Of course, I run a more defense-invested set that can tank, even though it's purpose is to attack.  It has a priority STAB move in Shadow Sneak and it's slow speed can make Gyro Ball deadly.

 

Then again, I'm a bigger fan of Bisharp than Smogon Sword, although Bisharp has a 4 times weakness...........

 

Sizor is good too, I gues

[Zarc 1571]

you can always have 2-3 more pokemons on your boxes to switch in case

[LykosHand 1173]

You have a good selection of mons for your Steel Mono Run.

Should i ask for them on the request a mon topic or should i ask people to help me get some of them?

That scares me.. I don't think i'm ready for an Aegilash D:

[LykosHand 1173]

Well try to ask this on that topic; i have a Magnezone but he's at lvl 61

Well, it isn't in Smogon's Uber tier for nothing.

Either works

[Zarc 1571]

You can ask me , i will give it to you  , or you can directly dl the sandbox mode to get all of your pokemons directly 

[LykosHand 1173]

Oh right, the Sandbox mode is a very solution.

The thing about sandbox is that i don't get to keep them when another episode comes out, right?

[Zarc 1571]

It's a different save file from reborn , if you want to keep them you can always trade them on your main game 

[LykosHand 1173]

I agree with Zarc, you can always trade them in your main saved file.

I have no idea how that works, you see, i tend to just play the game and that's it, now that i'm "bending" the game a little bit i'm starting to learn many new things!

You can get help from a person to transfer your mons to your main saved file.
