Template:ElementalTypes The Normal type is one of the seventeen basic Pokémon elements.

Notable Normal trainers include Whitney of Goldenrod and Norman of Petalburg.

Characteristics

Normal is widely considered to be one of the most versatile types, having only a single weakness, and one immunity. Having only a single 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 have only a single type. All Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/Flying-type except for Girafarig, which is Psychic/Normal-type.

Battle Properties

Normal-type attacks:

  • Are super-effective against: None
  • Are not very effective against: Rock, Steel
  • Have no effect against: Ghost

Normal-type Pokémon:

  • Resist: None
  • Are weak to: Fighting
  • Have immunity against: Ghost

Note: Normal-type attacks normally have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon; however, the moves Foresight and Odor Sleuth, when used on Ghost Pokémon, will allow them to be hit by both Normal and Fighting-type moves.
