Normal-type Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>\u00a0sometimes come across as dull or boring. They have no offensive advantages or type resistances, making them difficult to use strategically. All Normal-type Pok\u00e9mon can learn moves of other types, some of which are very powerful. However, such moves don’t benefit from the same-type attack bonus (or STAB), which increases a move’s power by 1.5 times if used by a Pok\u00e9mon who shares the move’s type.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, some pure Normal-type Pok\u00e9mon simply don’t make sense.\u00a0Considering both\u00a0visual designs or the lore surrounding them,\u00a0several Normal-types fit a secondary typing better. With the myriad of types available, here are a few Normal Pok\u00e9mon who deserve something more in their typing.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Ursaring: Fighting-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This fiercely protective Pok\u00e9mon is aggressive and powerful, like many Fighting-types<\/a>.\u00a0With its high Physical Attack stat and large number of physical Fighting-type moves, adding this secondary typing boosts its offensive power. Additionally, the resistances\u00a0that this\u00a0type provides would help increase its defenses in battle.<\/p>\n

Ursaring’s Pok\u00e9dex entries describe it as a skillful climber, who is strong enough to snap trees with its forelegs. Ursaring clearly possesses the force and ferocity that most Fighting-types do, making this a fitting secondary type.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Yungoos: Dark-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Since it appears as a common\u00a0early encounter in Generation VII, adding Dark to Yungoos’ typing would help give players an edge when starting their adventure. Yungoos and its evolution, Gumshoos, learn several Physical Dark-type moves. Coupled with its high Attack stat,\u00a0this would\u00a0make a Dark-type STAB very useful.<\/p>\n

Normal\/Dark is a fairly rare typing, which would help Yungoos and Gumshoos stand out. Described in the Pok\u00e9dex as ravenous stalkers of prey, this typing also makes a decent fit for their nature.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Bouffalant: Fighting-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This proud, fierce Pok\u00e9mon charges foes with its horns. Like Ursaring, Bouffalant boasts several offensive Fighting-type\u00a0moves<\/a> that benefit from its high attack stat. However, these moves would gain even more power with the Fighting STAB.<\/p>\n

Bouffalant is already a\u00a0fairly powerful Pok\u00e9mon, with decent all-around stats and powerful moves\u00a0in its learn set. Adding Fighting to its typing would help boost it from good to great, by opening up type advantages and possibly more Fighting-type moves to learn.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Spinda: Psychic-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Known to cause hypnosis and confusion with its swirling patterns and bizarre gait, Spinda regularly messes with the minds of trainers and other Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0It\u00a0learns a few Psychic-type moves<\/a> by leveling up, and even more can be taught with TMs.<\/p>\n

Many players consider Spinda a poor offensive choice. Though it has a large pool of status moves, its attacks aren’t particularly powerful. Providing Spinda with a Psychic-type STAB would\u00a0allow players to use it strategically, as well as being a good thematic fit.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Glameow: Dark-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Glameow and its evolution, Purugly, tend to be spiteful and sometimes cruel, making Dark-type a strong thematic fit. They both learn several Dark-type\u00a0attacks through both level-up and TM. With its relatively low Attack and Special Attack stats, boosting the power of these moves gives Glameow an edge in battle.<\/p>\n

Glameow and Purugly are often favored by antagonists such as Team Galactic. This further reinforces the Dark-type theme<\/a>, since Dark-type Pok\u00e9mon are favorites of evil characters due to their tricky and cruel natures.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Zangoose: Fire-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Zangoose can learn a surprising number of Fire-type moves<\/a> for a Pok\u00e9mon without that type. It fits visually as well. Zangoose’s distinctive red zigzags call vivid flames to mind. Additionally, its\u00a0fiery temperament often shows itself in battles\u2014especially against its arch-rival, Seviper.<\/p>\n

Normal\/Fire is an uncommon combination, with only one evolutionary line currently boasting that typing. Adding Fire to Zangoose’s typing would help distinguish this strong, unique Pok\u00e9mon, providing resistances and advantages that the Normal type does not.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Vigoroth: Fighting-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Prone to rages and able to learn several Fighting-type moves, Vigoroth truly deserves this secondary type. All of its Pok\u00e9dex entries describe it as agitated or frenzied, making this typing an excellent fit for its nature and personality.<\/p>\n

While its previous evolution, Slakoth, doesn’t really show any Fighting-type traits, several Pok\u00e9mon gain a secondary typing after evolving; this could easily be the case here. Adding this type to Vigoroth (and, by extension, its evolution Slaking) expands its usefulness and increases its power.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Chansey: Fairy-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Charming, lovable, and always endearing, Chansey’s evolutionary line\u00a0have visual designs and personalities that align well with other\u00a0Fairy-type Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>. Additionally, they all learn\u00a0several Fairy-type moves through level-up and TM; this would make a Fairy-type STAB incredibly useful in battles.<\/p>\n

As with\u00a0Vigoroth, this secondary typing could be gained when Happiny evolves into Chansey or when Chansey evolves into Blissey. However, any Pok\u00e9mon in this line fits this typing from both a tactical and thematic point of view.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Dunsparce: Ground-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Found in caves or dusty, dry areas, all of Dunsparce’s Pok\u00e9dex entries mention its tendency to\u00a0dig into the ground when threats are near. Dunsparce builds its nests underground, and can find its way through tunnels by the smell of the dirt.<\/p>\n

With the Ground-type moves in its learnset\u00a0and the time it spends under the earth, it’s a wonder that Dunsparce is a pure Normal-type. Adding Ground to its typing would give it both a battle advantage, and demonstrate a lore-based adaptation to its environment.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Stantler: Psychic-type<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hunted almost to extinction,\u00a0Stantler can create visual illusions and\u00a0even distort reality\u00a0to protect itself from predators. Within the Pok\u00e9mon world, abilities like these are often associated with Psychic-type Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Stantler learns a staggering number of Psychic-type moves for a\u00a0pure Normal-type. Adding Psychic to its typing would give this Pok\u00e9mon a huge battle advantage by increasing the power of those moves. Perhaps more trainers would be encouraged to use this underrated Pok\u00e9mon, were that the case.<\/p>\n
