Prior to [[Generation III]], there were only a few Pokémon capable of learning powerful Fighting-type moves, making Fighting types less of a threat at the time. However, due to the proliferation and increased availability of powerful Fighting-type moves such as {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, and {{m|Focus Blast}}, Normal-types nowadays require moves or teammates who can check their weakness, such as {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Fairy}}.

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

Normal-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Defense and Special Defense of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon.
