The Normal type (Japanese: ノーマルタイプ Normal type) is one of the eighteen types. 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 with no resistances and one immunity, it is also tied with {{Ice}} as the least resistant type. Many Normal-type Template:OBP 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 Template:Stat and Template:Stat 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 Template: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 Template:Type Pokémon can be nullified by using Template:M, Template:M, or by Pokémon with the Ability Template:A. In these cases, it will provide unresisted coverage when paired with Template:Type moves (excluding Pokémon with Template:A).

On average, fully evolved Pokémon with the Normal type have the lowest base Template:Stat 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 VIII, there are 115 Template:Cat or 12.8% of all Template:OBP, making it the second most common type after {{Water}}.

Trivia

• Generation I introduced the most Normal-type Template:OBP of any generation, with 24 (counting Clefairy and Clefable, which had their type changed from Generation VI onward). Generation VIII introduced the fewest Normal-type Pokémon, with six.
• Generation I introduced the most Normal-type moves of any generation, with 78 (counting Template:M, Template:M, Template:M, and Template:M, which had their type changed from Generation II onward). Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type moves, with eight.
• With 187 Template:Cat, this type has the most moves available.
  • Additionally, there are five unique Normal-type Max Moves, the most of any type.
• 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.
  • A theoretical dual-typed Ghost/Normal Pokémon would therefore be the only case where a Pokémon is immune to both its own types without needing to rely on its ability.
• 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 back to its base form).
• Pure Normal is the most abundant type combination overall, while Normal/{{Flying}} is the most abundant dual-type combination.
  • Prior to Generation IV, all dual-typed Normal Pokémon were Normal/Flying, except for Girafarig.
  • Normal has the most unused type combinations, as there are no Normal-type Pokémon that are also part {{Poison}}, {{Steel}}, {{Rock}}, {{Bug}}, {{Ice}}, or Template:Type.
• 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.
• Normal has the highest amount of unused type combinations, with six. It has not been paired with {{Bug}}, {{Ghost}}, {{Ice}}, {{Poison}}, {{Rock}}, or {{Steel}}.
• 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 isn't.
• 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 four (eleven 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.
