All Normal-type Pokémon Strengths in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Normal is not directly strong against any types in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It is not super effective against any type, but only three types are resistant to it. This makes it fairly good at offense, especially considering many moves are Normal, giving Normal-type Pokémon a stab bonus.

Additionally, many Normal-type Pokémon can learn a wider variety of moves, including those of other types. This gives them more coverage as they can learn different type moves to cover their weaknesses.
