Best Normal Type Pokémon

Zero Super-Effective Matchups, By Design

Normal is the only type in the game with no type it hits for super effective damage -- every Normal-type move deals neutral damage at best against every type. It's balanced by a matching offensive gap on the other side: Ghost is completely immune to Normal-type moves, the one type Normal can never touch at all. What Normal lacks in offensive identity it makes up in extremes elsewhere -- Blissey's 255 HP is the single highest stat value of any Pokémon in the game, and Arceus (720 base stat total) is the highest of any Pokémon, period.

A Type Defined by Its Individuals

With no shared offensive strength to lean on, Normal-type Pokémon differentiate almost entirely through individual stat extremes and abilities rather than typing. Snorlax (160 HP, 110 Attack) and Kangaskhan (105 HP, 95 Attack) both build around bulk-plus-power, while Regigigas and Slaking both reach a 670 base stat total, undercut by abilities (Slow Start, Truant) that punish using them carelessly.
