This isn't the thread to get comprehensive advice, but you did come to the right place! Check out the various threads tagged as a resource in this forum as a start. Once you have the outline of the team, head over to the Monotype room on Pokémon showdown (a link to the room is in my signature) and there are many people that can help you test the team and offer feedback.Hi, I'd like to ask for help on how I could build a mono steel type team (singles OU or Doubles OU). I've sorta been volunteered as a gym leader for a group I admin lol I know I'm probably in the wrong thread asking this, I'm still pretty unfamiliar on how to navigate my way to the proper articles to help me out. Hope to hear from you =] thanks!
Thanks mate! =] Much love for the help. I would love to build a team around mega metagross so hopefully we can get a solid one =DThis isn't the thread to get comprehensive advice, but you did come to the right place!

Good luck mate!
Mega Metagross is banned in Monotype unfortunately. Mega Scizor, Mega Steelix, and Mega Aggron are the only legal Steel Mega Evolutions, with Mega Scizor being the most viable.

Actually I think Mega Medicham may have recently passed Gallade in the usage stats. I'm on mobile atm, so checking the usage stats is difficult unless I'm on a computer, but the speed and sweeping potential that Gallade provides is highly valued. Fighting and Psychic both have decent wallbreakers already, but setup sweepers aren't quite as common. Either way, I think Medicham is better in the current meta.Given that in regular OU Mega Gallade finds itself thoroughly outclassed by Mega Medicham, what makes it not so in Monotype? Also, tl;dr on the reasoning behind the non-OU-standard bans (Gross, ZardX, etc)?
To my understanding you asked what makes gallade better than megacham in mono whilst in ou it's outclassed by it.Given that in regular OU Mega Gallade finds itself thoroughly outclassed by Mega Medicham, what makes it not so in Monotype?
Did you mean Mega Gallade?I'm positive that a +2 medicham that holds a knock off in its moveset sweeps psy w/o being adamant
Yeah, that's exactly right. Thanks!To my understanding you asked what makes gallade better than megacham in mono whilst in ou it's outclassed by it.
If that's incorrect reply with like no or smth and I'll shamefully delete my post..(not a native speaker!)
Mega gallade has access to Knockoff and Swords Dance. This combination of moves play a huge role in Fighting VS Ghost/Psychic matchups( which fighting struggles a lot against, you know type matchup and everything) while sadly medicham doesn't have such luxurious moves(although Double Priority(one of which demolishes fairy if played well), and an absurd attack stat (598 after Pure Power) does help a lot when you need to a wallbreaker that doesn't have many switchins besides like Slowbro and the viable ghost mons), and so it is a great way out of these horrible matchups.
I'm positive that a +2 medicham that holds a knock off in its moveset sweeps psy w/o being adamant, after you get rid of the opposing scarves(Latios/Victini and well Alakazam since it's faster and usually runs a sash), or faster/same speed mons. And of course outside of Fighting vs Ghost/Psychic, it also does a great job against other fighting teams outspeeding everything except hawlucha or opposing gallade, and any type really, its speed tier post-mega is what makes it so great really.
I really hope I got your q right :/
yes, sorryDid you mean Mega Gallade?
no problem! only note that correction please, ty zmeed.Yeah, that's exactly right. Thanks!
No, it's doable. Just need to get up hazards and hit it whenever you get a chance.Does Steel hit x against Volcanion?
That feature is usually used for compressing text or images that would take up a ton of space. That way posts look more neat and organized. You could use it for spoilers I suppose, although I'm not sure what you would be spoiling. If you are going to use it for spoilers, you can label it as such by typingIs this how you do spoilers :o?

I mean, its called "Steel Killer Hoopa" for a reason, off the top of my head i cant really think of anything that doesnt involve sacking a mon first. But nice questionHow does steel beat sub hoopa?
Sack Mega Scizor to use Bullet Punch and put it in range of Choice Scarf Magnezone's Thunderbolt or win mind games with Bisharp.How does steel beat sub hoopa?
