>>16397601>mammal typeYou were closer by saying the without any elemental addition part. It is a type that represents normalcy in day to day life. Take Helioptile for example. It is an Electric/Normal, rather than a pure Electric type because while it does possess the ability to generate Electricity for electric attacks, it is required to gather that energy from elsewhere to do so. It does this through the use of solar panel-like appendages. It does not simply have an electrical affinity. The affinity is steeped in reality through realistic means, hence normal dual type. Also observe Normal and Ghost's type relation.
