Normal-type Pokémon are among the most common in the Pokémon world, coming second only to water-types. So, with so many to choose from, how can you determine the best normal-type Pokémon? Well, it just so happens that we're expert trainers with thousands of collective hours across the franchise, so we can help point you in the right direction to help you get a strong 'mon for your team.
With just one weakness to their name, normal-types can prove pretty good defensively. Of course, we do understand that you might prefer the excitement that 'normal' just can't give, in which case, you should check out our lists of the best water Pokémon, electric Pokémon, and fire Pokémon. So go on, get out there, prove you're the very best, and catch 'em all.
Here's our list of the best normal Pokémon .
1. Porygon-Z
- Abilities: Adaptability, Download, Analytic (hidden)
Porygon-Z is solely a normal-type and it happens to be pretty powerful, with its strength lying mainly in attack speed. A base speed of 90 supports it, meaning that Porygon-Z is very useful in a pinch, as it can deal good damage while also nipping in and out.
2. Bewear
- Abilities: Fluffy, Klutz, Unnerve (hidden)
Bewear is perhaps the most adorable entry on this list, but don't let that fool you into thinking that it's a slouch in battle. It's actually quite the opposite. Bewear is one of the best normal Pokémon you can get without going after legendaries or mega evolutions. Its high HP base stat means it can withstand a ton of damage, while also having an impressive base attack of 125, too.
3. Slaking
- Abilities: Truant
Slaking can hold its own among the best normal Pokémon, being among the easier ones to get from this list. It boasts an impressive 150 base HP and an even better 160 attack. The rest of its stats are nothing to sniff at, either, as Slaking is an excellent all-rounder, and kind of an icon, if we're being real.
4. Mega Lopunny
- Mega abilities: Scrappy
While regular Lopunny doesn't exactly set the world on fire, Mega Lopunny does. Not only is it one of the best normal Pokémon, it's one of the best mega evolutions, period. With impressive attack and speed stats, Mega Lopunny can cause all sorts of problems. Just watch out for that low attack speed. We can't all be perfect.
5. Regigigas
- Abilities: Slow Start
One of the undisputed best normal Pokémon is the legendary beast that's Regigigas. This incredibly versatile unit is good at pretty much everything, with an immense base attack of 160, and almost all of its other base stats being above 100, too. You would be wise not to overlook this unit.
6. Ursaluna
- Abilities: Guts, Bulletproof, Unnerve (hidden)
Ursaluna is a bit of a beast when it comes to normal Pokémon, but that's hardly surprising given the great bear looks like a tank. With high HP and attack stats, you can rely on Usaluna for your heavy hitting - but you've got to be careful when it comes to its speed. After all, a creature this big is also heavy, weighing in at a cool 639.3 lbs (or 290kg). We can imagine at that weight, it gets pretty hard to be nimble.
7. Snorlax
- Abilities: Immunity, Thick Fat, Gluttony (hidden)
Another huge lad is Snorlax, one of the most iconic normal Pokémon. If you thought Ursaluna was big and slow, feast your eyes on all 1014 lbs (460kg) of Snorlax - its base speed is abysmal, at 30, to match. However, its HP sits at a whopping 160, the very definition of a tank, and it can pack a punch, too, naturally.
8. Staraptor / Mega Staraptor
- Abilities: Intimidate, Reckless (hidden)
- Mega abilities: as above
Staraptor is a pretty good unit, but its Mega version enters icon status. Introduced in Pokémon Legends Z-A, this lad can put up a fight, with an impressive 140 base attack, alongside excellent speed and defense numbers. In 'n' out is the name of the game with this 'mon, and we're pretty happy to see its Mega version finally rear its… well, beak.
