Gotta be honest Nathan. The fact that you didn’t mobilize your entire set up, taking your whole computer and desk outside to play on the grass while all your neighbors watch in awe, some in fear, has really let me down. I’m hoping for the next mono grass video you can turn this bad spell around and turn yourself into a blade of grass. That’s the only reconciliation I see here

My full-ingrained Headcanon is that the Games just lack a Feature that explains why Mono-Type-Trainers are not just a Thing but a common thing. Its apparent if you think about the poke-world but never clearly said out loud, but it seems theres Perks to being Mono-Type. Supernatural Perks.

Great video, two thoughts on why you lost to the electric team. 1. That electric team had more grass resists than usual. Bulky Zapdos, dracozolt, and magnezone wore down your offense. 2. You tried to sacrifice Rillaboom too early with the high horse power play against Zapdos. It's a testament to the Pokemon how much health it managed to get back by late game. Depending on damage calcs on Dracozolt, that heat wave might have been the chip damage needed to neutralize your otherwise late game threat. Overall, I think you show how the worse aspects of mono grass isn't the defensive typing, but the lack of quality offensive grass types in the meta. Sure you have hazzards, but you have little incentive for HO team with coverage to back off so you can rack damage other than Rillaboom and Zarude to a lesser degree. And you can't afford to bring in more offensive because you need the defensive core of fairy, steel, and rock to handle the numerous weaknesses.

@@sedricgranger I assume it's banned because it would be too much for Steel-type teams. It's already one of if not the best monotype types with a large monopoly over the OU 'mons such as Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Melmetal, Heatran, Bisharp, Skarmory, Corviknight, etc. If I'm not mistaken, it would be considered a “complex ban,” which Smogon hates, to ban Kartana from Steel-type teams but not Grass-type teams even though it's perfectly balanced on the latter. I'm pretty sure it's the same reason they banned Magearna (and it was before the OU ban) and Genesect despite them being pretty balanced on Fairy and Bug teams, respectively and why they'll likely keep Zamazenta banned from monotype if it gets unbanned from OU.
