Mono-Type Tournament Guide - Z-Ring, Z-Crystals and more...

Welcome to the Mono-Type Tournament guide.

It is a Tournament held in the Trainers Valley Stadium where you can obtain a Z-Ring and Type-Specific Z-Crystals.

The building is at the center of Trainers Valley.

 

▹Access to Trainers Valley

If you haven't already unlocked it you can find the guide around it in Trainers Valley(more info here).

 

▹It is a kind of team that has only one type of Pokemon, such as a team of Fire type Pokemon only. 

▹Dual-Typing on Pokemon like Gyarados, a Water and Flying Type is something you can register for the Tournament with and use for both Mono-Flying and Mono-Water Teams. 

 

▹Mega Evolution is allowed even the ones which gets a change in its Type upon Mega evolving.

For example, you can also register Gyarados holding its Mega Stone, which would still count as Water and Flying type and you can register it with either of those Mono-Type Categories but you won't be able to register it in the Dark Type team(Gyarados in its Mega Evolution being Water and Dark type Pokemon), as you are registering it as a normal Gyarados.

 

▹Winning all rounds/Losing a round will end the Tournament for the day and you can register again after 00:00 hours GMT+0.

▹Once you are in Trainers Valley, start moving south from the Pokecenter.

▹Prof's Aide will stop you and speak about the Tournament in brief after that head towards the Trainers Valley Stadium.

Directions Towards the Building:

 

▹Entering the building, you see 3 NPCs:

1. You can speak to the Info Desk for some info on the different tournaments.

 

2. You can register for the Tournament at the Registration NPC, where you will have to select the Tournament(Level 50 or Level 100) you want to enter for(Note: the choice won't show if you don't have the Z-Ring and will default into Level 50 Tournament) and register your Pokemon one by one and confirm the type for which you want to register them for. Below is the demonstration for that in detail:

 

3. The Crystal Seller NPC who will sell you Z-Crystals for PvP or PvE coins.

 

▹You can register two Mono-Type teams of three Pokemon each at the maximum. After registering you will enter the Waiting Room.

▹This room here has a Television, speaking to it will reveal the upcoming opponent's name and their team's type. If you have two teams selected for the Tournament(Level 100), it will show two possibilities of the opponent team type. Using that information, you can choose the Mono-Type team to use and devise a strategy for the battle. You can see how it shows in the screenshot.

 

▹Speak to the Police Officers in the Waiting Room. They will ask you to select a lead and confirm to enter the battle with the Mono-Type team of three Pokemon which will be the one associated to the type of lead you have chosen and then you will be enter the battle.

Demonstration of the same, below:

▹Can more than one Pokemon hold them in battle?

-Yes, you can make more than one Pokemon hold Z-Crystals in battle, however, only one Pokemon would be able to use it in battle. 

 

▹Can Z-Moves be used after a Pokemon has Mega Evolved in a battle?

-Yes, you can use it even if a Pokemon has Mega Evolved in the battle.

 

▹Why did a Z-Move miss if my opponent used Dig?

-Z-Moves ensure a guaranteed strike but in case of Dig or Fly moves, the opposing Pokemon induces a semi-invulnerable the turn it is activated. Hence, Z-Moves cannot hit it.

 

▹Are they allowed in PvP?

-Yes they are.

 

▹Would they work with Hidden Power?

-Since it is a Normal Type move only Normalium Z works with that and the move is Breakneck Blitz.

 

▹Are all Z-Crystals here?

-All but some of the Alolan Z-Crystals are in the game. Kommonium, Mimikium and Lycanium Zs are the ones available from the said category.

 

 

That concludes my quick guide around Mono-Type Tournaments. I wish you all a great time with the Tournament battles and obtaining and using all of the Type-Specific Z-Crystals.
