    Introduction: Monotype is a tier where what type you are facing plays a large role in who wins. What if this was reversed? What if Mono Bug was actually super effective against Mono Steel? Players will have to build around backwards in order to cover their weaknesses. This tour is based off of this concept.
    Rules:

    - All battles must be played in the Monotype Tier.
    - MonoNormal and MonoGrass are banned from this tournament.
    ` The following clauses must be used: Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Wifi Clause/Team Preview, Self KO Clause and Inverted Battle.
    ` All battles will be BO1, except for finals, which will be BO3
    - Each round will last for a duration of 1 week, the first round may be longer depending on the number of participants.
    - Signups will be 1 week
    - Coin flip if inactive.

    So I feel like you'd need to ban mono-Normal for this to be anything fun.
    I also feel like Mono-Grass could be a big problem.

    I could create a banlist.
    Something I'm thinking of would be: Mega Lopunny, Mega Venusaur, Seperior, and Porygon-Z.
    OR
    I could completely ban both of these types.
    I'm fine with either one. Thoughts?

    Types preferably

    almost any Normal Pokemon is going to be ridiculously powerful, and the same context for grass. Monotype can be type matchup based, but in normal circumstances there are usually actual ways to win in a disadvantage, whereas for those typings I have a feeling there wouldn't be.
