Normal Type Weaknesses and Counters
This guide explains how to counter Normal-type Pokémon, including their weaknesses, resistances, immunities, and the best attacking types to use against them.
Resistances (0)
None
Immunities (1)
Battle notes
- Normal-type Pokémon usually have only one defensive weakness, so Fighting attacks are the most direct answer.
- Ghost Pokémon can be useful defensively against Normal-type moves because they are immune to them, although Ghost attacks do not hit Normal super-effectively by default.
- Avoid using Ghost attacks into Normal defenders unless an ability, move effect, or format-specific rule changes the matchup.
Best counter types
These attacking types hit the defender for super-effective damage under the modern Gen 6+ type chart.
