Pokémon Go is gaining popularity again, and it’s causing everyone to start investigating what type of Pokémon they should catch, train, and use in raids/battles. In this guide, we’re looking at Normal Pokémon! We’re going to give you some quick stats about the type and the Pokémon to make sure you know what to look for and how to win.

Best Normal Type Pokémon in Pokémon Go

Before we begin, we want to cover a few important things when reading over this list. Everything in the list below affects how we rank the best Pokémon, so you’ll want to glance over it at least once.

  • Pokémon Alterations: Some Pokémon can be altered into different versions, which significantly boosts them in such a way that it may put them at the top of a list, even if their standard version wouldn’t be there. However, alterations for Normal Pokemon are very rare and not many of the ones available in Pokémon Go are strong, so we’ve opted to include them with the rest of the list. Combination Types: Any Pokémon type can be mixed with any other type, which can cause some confusion in picking the best. These secondary types can change the recommended moveset, weaknesses, and other important stats like Max CP. Because of this, we have included separate lists of the be Normal-exclusive Pokémon and the best Combination Normal Pokémon. The Algorithm: We determine our lists by getting the statistics of the ten Pokémon with the highest CP of their category. Then, we take the averages of their Max CP, Attack, Defense, and Stamina. The ranks are determined by which Pokémon has the best overall placement of those stats. We did it this way because it means you’re not just getting the highest CP, but instead, the strongest Pokémon ranked by balanced averages. The Lists for the Top Normal Types: The list below provides you all the lists we’re providing in this guide for Normald Pokémon. Top 10 Overall Normal-type Top Three Exclusive Normal-type Top Three Combination Normal-type Strengths/Weaknesses: This list will provide you all weaknesses and strengths of Normal-type Pokémon.
