There are no dual Normal-type Pokémon that have a double weakness to another type. However, [[Generation VI]] introduced the move {{m|Flying Press}}, which counts as both a {{t|Flying}} and Fighting move. This means Normal types with the second type that weak to Flying are all doubly weak to the move. | There are no dual Normal-type Pokémon that have a double weakness to another type.

Because no type is weak against Normal-type moves, they cannot deal {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} damage. This is somewhat countered by Normal types being able to learn wide movepool such as Fighting and {{t|Ground}} moves, which are super effective against both types that are resistant to Normal-type moves (excluding Ghost). Many Normal-type Pokémon are also capable of learning {{t|Dark}}-type moves, which provide good neutral coverage together as they are no longer resisted by Steel in [[Generation VI]]. | Because no type is weak against Normal-type moves, they cannot deal {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} damage.
