Type usage.
deadae:
I personally have versed multiple teams of all types, with the two exceptions of rock and steel. I voted rock and honestly on PO ive fought like 4 different electric mono teams... You have to do double battles and electric mono teams are used often.
zorocario:
yeah some team do work in double battle that dosent mean they dont work in singles battle either they just run a little different that all.
deadae:
WOW I CANT BELIEVE BUG IS EVEN ON THE LIST I SEE MORE BUG TEAMS THAN WATER TEAMS!!!!!!!! Sry....I didnt realize caps were on, must have still been from me raving about THE GREAT ONE earlier.
Mr. Fox:
Psychic, Fight, Fire, and water seem to be the most common monotypes. I prefer fight because of its ability to, most of the time, smash through anything put in your way. But dark is also a very good type. It has deadly sweepers like Weavile and Krookodile, and annoying walls like Mandibuzz and spiritomb. The type I have almost never seen is ghost. I have seen one user in the time I have been battling. Its not that its a weak type, because that's not true, its because of how few there are. I mean ghost is the rarest type in the game.

Dark, Fighting, Bug, Steel: These types are the most used types on the monotype ladder.
Monodark has many offensive options such as Tyranitar, Hydregion, Weavile, Honchkrow, Houndoom, and Bisharp. They also have defenisve options such as Spiritomb, Mandibuzz, and Umbreon. They only have 2 weaknesses; fighting and bug witch are both cuontered by Spiritimb/Sableye and Houndoom/Honchkrow.
Fighting is one of the best offensive types in pokemon. Monofighting teams easliy run a hyper-offensive team with little trouble. They are able to counter their psychic and flying weakness with Scrafty and Terrakion, repectively. Their only problem is ghost types which is a rare type in the monotype ladder.
Bug is becoming a major offensive type in Gen 5 thanks to faster threats and the fact that drak and psychic types are becoming more popular. Monobug has access to top tier threats like Scizor, Genesect, and Volcarona. I don't know how monobug is still a top monotype since most teams fall to stealth rock...
Steel is the metagame's main defensive type with access to offensive threats like Scizor, Genesect, and Lucario. Skarmoy and Heatran counter ground and fire types.
From what I've seen; Ice, Electric, and Grass are the least common types in mono.
Ice is the worst defensive type and most teams have to rely on hail.
Electric probably isn't seen too much because of the main ground types and earthquakes being thrown around.
Grass types normally have to rely on the sun to be effective which also puts them at a great disadvantage.
