EVs are now Explosive Values and not Electric Vehicles? Madness.

Yes, he has done this for past generations unfortunately. We really disagree with the approach and he knows that, but it's his site and he can handle it how he wants.

Yeah, sad part is I think he takes a few weeks to post them all. How have you been?

XD

Sometimes I find old wall posts and think to myself "when and why did I post this?". Wish I had a funny example.

While support for Pokemon Home Red/Purple won't come until 2023, the Landorus form will be used as a Gen 9 national deck, so yes.

Dirty Lot National Dex Monotype Gen 9 (Earth)

Landorus @ Vita Sphere
Ability: Super Strength
Ground Type: Ground
MS: 252 SP / 4 SPD / 252 SP
harsh nature
IV: 0 inches
- bad plot
- Sandstorm
- mud wave
- Gravity

In Gen 9, Landorus established access to Nasty Plot and Sandsir Storm, so Landorus decided to place these two moves in the Gen section of the Gen9 Natdex monotype. A messy plot boosts Landor's special attack. Sandstorm will be a new ground-type special move with 100 BP and 80% accuracy (sic) and 20% chance to burn... which means Sandstorm will increase its cutting power and make it more powerful. .. :D Sledge Wave can be used to attack Pokemon like Brellum, Island Bulu, and Meoskarda, which resist Sledge Wave and are boosted by Shear Power if they're Grass-types. Gravity drives him even crazier. Gravity prevents Landorus from constantly hitting Ground-types like Kuvicnight, Celestella, Zapdos, and Rotom-Hate, but it increases the accuracy of Sandor's Gravity form by 80%. This means that in Gravity you can perform a powerful specific ground move that protects Pokémon from normal ground moves. Life Orb: Used to increase attack power and not take damage due to slashing power.

Why do I have a terra type instead of another type?

Gen 9 Monotype terratypes are allowed for this skin, but the terratype must be the same one you are using. (For example, Salamander's terra type should be Flying Wing.) This makes terra-types useless in the Gen 9 monotype format. You can use it to get rid of the terra-type weakness or go from a 4x weakness to a 2x weakness. In this case, Landorus can deal 2x 4x cold damage. Evolving your Pokemon increases STAB by x2 instead of x1.5. This means that the sandstorm you create for Landorus can be just as powerful.

Ha ha Enjoy this collection of 9th generation monotypes from Natdex! :)

Any time you like, we're not policing that. But it might be hard to say with absolute certainty what sets are good until the new metagames have stabilised.
