With the total number of Pokémon starting to get uncomfortably close to a thousand, there are plenty for fans to try and remember. When it comes to all the details about a Pokémon, it gets even more complicated, with each having their own base stats, move pools, type combinations, evolution requirements, and more.

There are quite a few Pokémon that have type combinations that are somewhat easy to forget, and that’s especially true when they have the Normal-type, as it’s somewhat of a plain, forgettable type. Here are some Pokémon that you might not remember are actually Normal-type.

10 Litleo And Pyroar

Pyroar is a bit of a forgettable Pokémon. It’s not in the Generation VIII games, hasn’t seen many promos, and is mostly known for its stark gender differences. This can lend many to forget that it’s actually a Normal-type Pokémon, on top of forgetting that it exists at all.

Introduced in Generation VI, Pyroar is obviously a Fire-type because of its appearance, but, yes, it is actually a dual Fire/Normal-type.

9 Girafarig

Introduced all the way back in Generation II, Girafarig is known for its strange reversible appearance and palindromic name (it’s the same backward and forward). It’s also known to be a Psychic-type Pokémon, albeit one that doesn’t see much use competitively.

However, Girafarig is actually a Psychic/Normal-type Pokémon. Interestingly, it was the only dual-type Normal-type to be paired with another type besides Flying until Bibarel’s introduction in Generation IV.

8 The Jigglypuff Family

In Generation VI, Game Freak introduced the first new type in years — Fairy — bringing with it a few new Fairy-type Pokémon and converting some of the pre-existing Pokémon. One of these Pokémon was, fittingly, Clefairy and its evolutionary family, which were converted from pure Normal-types to pure Fairy-types.

Jigglypuff and its family were also converted, but many wrongfully think they became pure Fairy-types as well. However, the Jigglypuff family is now Normal/Fairy-type.

7 Fletchling

Every generation brings a new regional bird Pokémon that can be caught early and evolves quickly. In Generation I, it was Pidgey; in Generation II, it was Hoothoot; and so on. One of the coolest according to many is the Fletchling line in Generation VI, which eventually ends in the powerful and cool-looking Fire/Flying-type Talonflame.

Since Talonflame and the middle stage, Fletchinder, are Fire/Flying-types, and Fletchling is also reddish-orange, it’s easy to think Fletchling is also a Fire-type. However, it’s not — it’s Normal/Flying and doesn’t gain the Fire-type until it evolves.

6 Alolan Rattata and Raticate

In Generation VII, some Pokémon were given new regional forms for the first time. A handful of Pokémon originally found in Kanto were given Alolan variants with new appearances and type combinations. One of them was Rattata (and of course, Raticate), which sports a new black and beige look and the Dark-typing.

Of course, Rattata and Raticate are now famously Dark-types in their Alolan forms. However, they still retained their Normal-typing, and are actually Dark/Normal-types. The same applies to Zigzagoon and Linoone in their Galarian forms.

5 Helioptile and Heliolisk

Another Generation VI Pokémon that joined Pyroar in having a cool elemental primary type and forgotten Normal-type alongside it is Heliolisk and its pre-evolution, Helioptile. These lizards are extremely cool Electric-types with a fascinating design concept, resembling solar panels that harness the sun’s energy.

However, it’s very easy to forget that they’re actually Normal-types, too. These Pokémon have the two types that are both only weak to one thing: Normal is weak only to Fighting and Electric is weak only to Ground.

4 Meloetta

One of the most newer Mythical Pokémon is Meloetta, a Pokémon that resembles a singer, dancer, or pop star. Meloetta actually has two forms that it can famously switch between: Its Psychic-type Aria Form and its Fighting-type Pirouette Form.

But, in actuality, both of these forms are Normal-type as well. Aria Form Meloetta is Normal/Psychic, and Pirouette Form Meloetta is Normal/Fighting. It doesn’t share any weaknesses or resistances between its two forms at all, which is interesting.

3 Regigigas

The original Regi trio of Regice, Regirock, and Registeel are associated closely with the elements their types represent. These golems are masters of Ice, Rock, and Steel, respectively. In the upcoming Crown Tundra, they’ll be joined by Regidrago and Regieleki, which are masters of Dragons and Electricity, as well.

In Generation IV, the original trio was given a trio master in Regigigas, a powerful titan that holds power over them. Its appearance suggests it could be an Electric- or Grass-type, but it’s just a pure Normal-type.

2 Azurill

Marill and its evolution, Azumarill, were some of the first Pokémon from Generation II introduced to the public. They’re Water-types in their initial generation, before one day receiving a conversion to Water/Fairy in Generation VI as part of the list of pre-existing ‘mons given the Fairy-type.

In Generation III, this evolutionary family received a Baby Pokémon in Azurill. One could reasonably suggest that it’s a Water-type like its evolutions, but it was actually pure Normal-type. In Gen VI, it was changed to Normal/Fairy, still lacking the Water-type.

1 Drampa

Dragon-type Pokémon are rare and very powerful. They’re often given secondary typings that enhance how cool and powerful they are, like Fire and Dark. Just look to Pokémon like Hydreigon, Zekrom, Reshiram, or many others. These are big, powerful dragons with elemental prowess that screams “epic.”

However, some dragons are given types that aren’t so epic and cool. A perfect example is Drampa, which is a Dragon/Normal-type. However, don’t underestimate this typing, as Drampa has Same-Type Attack Bonus advantage on moves like Hyper Beam. Watch out!
