Battle properties

Normal-type moves:

• 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 to: Ghost

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 a 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, Kecleon, and Chatot. Thus, the Normal-type could be thought of as the unspecialized "default" type.
