The Normal type (Japanese: ノーマルタイプ Normal type) is one of the eighteen types. Notable Trainers who specialize in Normal-type Pokémon are Whitney of Goldenrod City, Norman of Petalburg City, Lenora of Nacrene City, Cheren of Aspertia City, and Ilima of Melemele Island. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Normal-type moves were physical, but they may now also be special depending on the attack.

Characteristics

Defense

The Normal type is a mixed bag defensively. It sports only one weakness to Fighting, but only one immunity (Ghost) and no resistances. Normal types have various attributes, although a fair amount of Normal-type Pokémon have high HP and good defensive stats. Normal-types commonly have a defensive stat which is much higher than the other, such as Blissey having high Special Defense but low physical Defense.

Prior to Generation III, there were only a few Pokémon capable of learning powerful Fighting-type moves, making Fighting types less of a threat at the time. However, due to the proliferation and increased availability of powerful Fighting-type moves such as High Jump Kick, Close Combat, and Focus Blast, Normal-types nowadays require moves or teammates who can check their weakness, such as Psychic and Fairy.

Normal-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Defense and Special Defense of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon.

Offense

The type performs similarly offensively. It is resisted by Rock and Steel and nullified by Ghost, but it is not super-effective against any type. Because of this, Normal-type moves are best used for same type attack bonus or when boosted by abilities such as Refrigerate and Pixilate. For many Pokémon, especially those encountered earlier in the game, the first damage-dealing move they learn by level up is Normal-type, and the lack of offensive advantage against any other type facilitates the introduction of Pokémon battling to newcomers.

Normal-types have typically wide movepools, which include powerful attacking types such as Fighting, Ground and Dark, which cover all three types that resist their moves. In particular, the combination of Normal and Dark-type moves provides good neutral coverage since Dark is no longer resisted by Steel as of Generation VI. A combination of Normal and Ghost moves provides even better coverage, with only Tyranitar, Pawniard and Bisharp being resistant to both. Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy. In these cases, it will provide unresisted coverage when paired with Fighting moves (excluding those with Wonder Guard).

Because the Normal type is the only type that is not super effective against any type, it is completely unresisted during an Inverse Battle.

Contest properties

When used in contests, Normal-type moves do not favor a particular contest condition. However, the Normal type has the most moves that can jam.

Pokémon

As of Generation VII, there are 109 Normal-type Pokémon or 13.6% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common type after Water.
