Normal redirects here. For the glitch Normal type, see List of glitch types (Generation II) → Normal.

The Normal type (Japanese: ノーマルタイプ Normal type) is one of the eighteen types. Normal-type moves are not super-effective against any Pokémon, but Normal-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-type Pokémon.

Characteristics

Defense

The Normal type is tied with the Electric type for the fewest defensive weaknesses and has one immunity, but it does not have any standard type resistances. 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 Ghost-type moves provides good neutral coverage, with only three type combinations resisting both. 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 unresisted 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 IX, there are 133 Normal-type Pokémon or 12.98% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common type after Water and before Grass. In Generation VI, there are 8 Pokémon that changed their Normal-type into Fairy-type.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

Trivia

  • Generation I introduced the most Normal-type Pokémon of any generation, with 22 (24 if Clefairy and Clefable, which had their type changed from Generation VI onward, are counted). Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type Pokémon, with eight.
  • Generation I introduced the most Normal-type moves of any generation, with 78 (counting Gust, Karate Chop, Bite, and Sand-Attack, which had their type changed from Generation II onward). Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type moves, with eight.
  • With 202 Normal-type moves, this type has the most moves available.
    • Additionally, there are two unique Normal-type Max Moves (not including G-Max Moves), the most of any type.
    • The Normal type is the only type that has more moves than Pokémon.
  • The Normal type has the fewest non-neutral type relations, with only four.
  • Ghost and Normal are the only case of two types being immune against each other.
  • No Pokémon gains the Normal type upon evolving. It shares this distinction with the Bug type.
    • Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Normal type upon changing forms, unless reverting to its base form.
  • Normal/Flying is the most abundant dual-type combination.
  • Normal has the most unused type combinations at four, as there are no Normal-type Pokémon that are also part Steel, Rock, Bug, and Ice.
      • This makes Normal the only type that has not been paired up with Steel.
      • This also makes Normal the only type that has yet to be paired with every other type, to have more than two unused pairings.
  • Generation VI added the most new type combinations for Normal, the most dual-typed Normal Pokémon (if Pokémon retyped as Normal/Fairy are counted), the first dual-typed Pokémon with Normal as a secondary type, and the fewest Normal/Flying-type Pokémon (with only one) of any generation that introduced Pokémon with that type combination; Generation VIII did not introduce any.
    • Prior to Generation VI, Normal was only present as a secondary type for Pokéstar Studio opponents, or on Glitch Pokémon (notably Red/Blue MissingNo.).
  • Normal is the only type to have ever lost Pokémon, having lost Clefairy, Clefable, Cleffa, Togepi, Togetic, Snubbull, Granbull, and Togekiss when the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI.
    • Additionally, it is the only type to have the same number of Pokémon in two consecutive Generations.
  • For the purpose of the Purify Chamber, Normal is considered strong against itself, even though in battle, it is not.
  • The Normal-type is frequently associated with type changing:
    • More Pokémon lose the Normal type upon evolving than any other type, with a total of five (twelve if all of Eevee's evolutions are counted separately).
    • Eight Normal-type Pokémon have at least one signature move or a signature Ability which involves changing their type.
    • Most moves which involve changing the user's type or with a varying damage type are Normal-type.
    • Most abilities that change a move's type affect Normal-type moves.
  • Normal-type attacks are completely unresisted during an Inverse Battle.
  • Normal is the only type with no Paradox Pokémon.
