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 its lack of 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 Normal type is considered to be one of the best types defensively, as it has only a single weakness and one immunity.

Almost all Normal-type Pokémon with two types are Normal/{{t|Flying}}, with the notable exceptions of {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Meloetta}}'s Voice Forme, which are Normal/{{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, which is Normal/{{t|Water}}, {{p| | The majority of Normal-type Pokémon do not have a second type.

Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them. Most can learn at least one move of the {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} types, for example. | Single-type Normal Pokémon generally have a wide variety of moves available to them.
