  • Are not very effective against: Rock, Steel
  • Have no effect against: Ghost

Normal-type Pokémon:

Note: Although Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon, the moves Foresight and Odor Sleuth, as well as the ability Scrappy, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon. Additionally, the move Struggle can hit Ghost-types.

Characteristics

The Normal-type is considered to be one of the best types defensively, as it has only a single weakness, and one immunity. Having only one weakness makes up for not having any resistances, as it causes only the stats of the Pokémon to be involved in determining damage, and many Normal-type Pokémon have high stats defensively. Offensively, the type performs similarly. There are only two types that resist Normal-type moves, and one type which is immune. When facing Pokémon with no resistance to their moves, Normal-type Pokémon can often deal high amounts of damage with a combination of high stats and same-type attack bonus.

The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type. All Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/Flying, with the notable exceptions of Girafarig, which is Normal/Psychic, and Bibarel which is Normal/Water.

There are also many Normal-types that rely on an unusual "gimmick" strategy, these include Ditto, the Porygon family, Smeargle, Spinda, Castform, Kecleon, and Chatot. Thus, the Normal-type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.

Trivia

  • There are 19 Normal-type status moves that begin with the letter "S", more than any other type has of status moves total, except for Psychic, which has 28 status moves.
  • With 152 moves, the Normal-type, by a vast margin, has the most moves. The type with the second most moves is the Template:Type2 which has 40 moves.
  • There are 10 Normal-type moves with a power of 100 or more, more than any other elemental type.
  • Weedle is the only Pokémon incapable of learning a Normal-type move.
  • No type is weak to Normal-type moves, making the Normal-type the only type that is not super effective against anything. However, because most Pokémon start with one or more Normal-type attacks, such as Tackle or Scratch, the Normal-type can be seen as a default, or neutral type, so, it is likely that this is entirely intended.
  • Normal type Pokemon are most often found at the start of the game, Pidgey, Hoothoot, Taillow, Starly, Bidoof, Zigzagoon, Ratatta and Sentret are few of such.
