We’ve put together a list of the best normal Pokémon in Pokémon Go that you can use to defend gyms and beat Team Rocket, because sometimes, simple is best. Trust us when we say that any of these versatile ‘mon will make a fine addition to your team. There are hundreds upon hundreds of Pokémon out there, but in Pokémon Go, the normal types actually kick butt and are a force to be reckoned with.
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 ghost Pokémon, water Pokémon, electric Pokémon, fire Pokémon, dragon Pokémon, as well as our favorite lizard Pokémon, and small 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 in Pokémon Go.
Meloetta
- Fast attack: Quick attack
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
Not only is Meloetta a normal Pokémon, but it’s a psychic type too, which makes it a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, as not only does this ‘mon have access to hard-hitting normal attacks, but it can get into your enemies head.
Porygon-Z
- Fast attack: Lock-on
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
Porygon-Z might be a normal-type Pokémon but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s boring. It’s a floating blob creature that looks cute and cuddly on the surface, but can hit some brutal attacks when they’re used right. If you’re after an all-rounder that can hold it down in battles, and look adorable while doing so, this ‘mon might be the one for you.
Bewear
- Fast attack: Tackle
- Charged attack: Stomp
Beware Bewear, as this is one powerful creature that has no problem laying the smackdown on its opponents, which is, of course, beneficial to any trainer that chooses this normal-type for their team – the fact it also has access to fighting-type moves doesn’t hurt either. Actually, it does… but only our opponents.
Slaking
- Fast attack: Yawn
- Charged attack: Body slam
This is one lazy king, but don’t let that fool you, as Slaking is one hard hitter who can pummel your opponent into the ground. Seriously, this is one normal Pokémon that can show you just how powerful the type can be, even if it has no secondary type.
Blissey
- Fast attack: Pound
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
Blissey can leave your opponent in bliss, and by that, we mean it can knock them into next week and leave them in such a daze that they don’t know what’s going on anymore – ignorance is bliss and all that jazz.
Wigglytuff
- Fast attack: Pound
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
One of the OG normal Pokémon from the first gen, Wigglytuff undoubtably deserves a spot on this list. It’s a cutie patootie with plenty of effective attacks, it’s powerful, and it’s fast. It’s no normal normal-type Pokémon, though. Wigglytuff is a hybrid, borrowing attacks and effects from fairy-type, too. Don’t let its cute demeanor fool you, it can pack a punch!
Lopunny
- Fast attack: Pound
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
Considering Lopunny has one of the most powerful mega evolutions on offer in Pokémon Go, we think that’s reason enough to consider this stage two Pokémon for your team. That, and it has access to some fantastic attacks, especially since it’s also a fighting type.
Cinccino
- Fast attack: Pound
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
Cinccino deserves a mention for being as strong as it is cute, and trust us when we say it’s adorable. Just look at this fabulous creature. Anyway, despite only being a normal Pokémon, Cinccino can hit hard and move fast.
Ambipom
- Fast attack: Scratch
- Charged attack: Hyper beam
This smiley little guy is quite resilient and capable of dishing out some damage, too. Ambipom might not be the very best of the bunch, but there’s no denying this Pokémon’s prowess in battle considering its non-legendary status. Plus, look at how happy it is. A face that everyone loves.
Regigigas
- Fast attack: Hidden power
- Charged attack: Giga impact
The undisputed best normal Pokémon in Pokémon Go is the legendary beast that’s Regigigas – this monstrous ‘mon has access to some incredibly powerful attacks, and could wipe out its fellow titans in the blink of an eye – so get out there and make things gassy… But in the good way.
