The Normal type is | The Normal type is a mixed bag defensively. It sports only one weakness to {{t|Fighting}}, but only one immunity ({{t|Ghost}}) and no resistances. Normal types have various attributes, although a fair amount of Normal-type Pokémon have high HP and good defensive stats. Normal-types commonly have a defensive stat which is much higher than the other, such as {{p|Blissey}} having high {{stat|Special Defense}} but low physical {{stat|Defense}}. | ||
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}}. | |||
Normal-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Defense and Special Defense of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon. | |||
===Offense=== | ===Offense=== | ||
The | The type performs similarly offensively. It is resisted by {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} and nullified by {{t|Ghost}}, but it is not [[super-effective]] against any type. Because of this, Normal-type moves are best used for [[same type attack bonus]] or when boosted by Abilities such as {{a|Aerilate}}. For many Pokémon, especially those encountered earlier in the game, the first damage-dealing move they learn by level up is Normal-type, and the lack of offensive advantage against any other type facilitates the introduction of [[Pokémon battling]] to newcomers. | ||
Normal-types have typically wide movepools, which include powerful attacking types such as Fighting, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Dark}}, which cover all three types that resist their moves. In particular, the combination of Normal and {{t|Dark}}-type moves provides good neutral coverage since Dark is no longer resisted by Steel as of [[Generation VI]]. A combination of Normal and {{t|Ghost}} moves provides even better coverage, with only {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Bisharp}} being resistant to both. Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Scrappy}}. In these cases, it will provide unresisted coverage when paired with {{t|Fighting}} moves (excluding those with {{a|Wonder Guard}}). | |||
Because the Normal type is the only type that is not super effective against any type, it is completely unresisted during an [[Inverse Battle]]. | |||
