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 Trial Captain Ilima of Hau'oli City. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Normal-type moves were physical, but they may now also be special, depending on the move.

Characteristics

Defense

The Normal type is tied with the Electric type for the fewest defensive weaknesses but it is also the type with the fewest resistances out of any type, having none. Many Normal-type Pokémon with a secondary type mitigate their weakness with the secondary type (as with Flying, the type most commonly paired with Normal), leaving them with only the weaknesses of their secondary type.

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

Offense

The Normal type is the only type that is not super effective against any other type.

The combination of Normal and Ground-type moves provides good neutral coverage, with only five type combinations resisting both, because Ground covers both of the types that resist Normal. Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy. In these cases, it will provide unresistant coverage when paired with Fighting-type moves (excluding Pokémon with Wonder Guard).

On average, fully evolved Pokémon with the Normal type have the lowest base Special Attack of all types.

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 117 Normal-type Pokémon or 14.5% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common type after Water.
