The Normal type (Japanese: ノーマルタイプ Normal type) is one of the eighteen types. Normal-type moves are not super effective against any Pokémon, while Normal-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-type moves.

Battle properties

Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.

Additional effects

If the user has the Ability Scrappy or Mind's Eye, or the target is under the effect of the moves Foresight or Odor Sleuth, Normal-type moves will deal ×1 damage to Ghost-type Pokémon.

In Generation I, Normal-type Pokémon cannot be paralyzed by Body Slam. Normal-type Pokémon are also affected by Night Shade, despite the move being Ghost-type, which the Normal type is normally immune to. From Generation II onwards, Normal-type Pokémon can be paralyzed by Body Slam and are immune to Night Shade.

As of Generation IX, there are 133 Normal-type Pokémon or 12.98% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common type after Water and before Grass. In Generation VI, there are 8 Pokémon that changed their Normal-type into Fairy-type.

In spin-off games

Pokémon Sleep

Unlike in the core series games, in Pokémon Sleep, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of Berry that the Pokémon will gather for Snorlax to feed on. Normal-type Pokémon will gather Persim Berries, and typically have the Snoozing sleep type.

The following is a list of Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

# Pokémon Name Sleep type 0019 Rattata Snoozing 0020 Raticate Snoozing 0052 Meowth Snoozing 0053 Persian Snoozing 0115 Kangaskhan Snoozing 0132 Ditto Snoozing 0133 Eevee Snoozing 0287 Slakoth Snoozing 0288 Vigoroth Dozing 0289 Slaking Snoozing

In the TCG

Main article: Colorless (TCG)

The equivalent to the Normal type in the Pokémon Trading Card Game is the Colorless type. Colorless-type Pokémon cards that depict Normal-type Pokémon are generally weak to Fighting and has no Resistance. Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Colorless generally also adopts Flying-type Pokémon and Dragon-type Pokémon (prior to the Dragons Exalted expansion) under its typing.

The Colorless type can be considered as the "neutral" type in the TCG; attacks that require Colorless Energy may use any type or "color" of Energy.
