This one kinda confuses me, but with Pyroar and Drampa they kinda ~feel~~ like Normal types. Can't quite explain.

The real mystery is why Skiddo and Gogoat AREN'T part Normal. They're just like Sawsbuck and Deerling, my mom's goats but with plants.

Pyroar is at least based on a mammal, like most normal types that aren't part flying. And the exceptions like Porygon, Castform and Kecleon are probably normal just because they can change types. Same for Arceus and Ditto.

No idea about Helioptile/lisk, Drampa and Dusnparce though.

It denotes an all-roundedness of sorts. That's why they have the best movepools on average, and the Clefairy line-notable for using Metronome-was Normal type until Gen VI.

The issue with all the normal/something types is that normal types almost always have really good movepools, but the normal dual types never have access to the good normal type movepools.
The lizard and lion both have the shitty movepools that electric and fire types always have

I wouldn't say so with Heliolisk considering it has access to Surf and Grass Knot, Dark Pulse, Focus Blast, and more. Pyroar, on the other hand, I have to agree with you there.

It can't generate electricity on its own or directly absorb electricity like all the pure Electrics.

Also they didn't want Gen 6 to have a negative amount of Normal types added due to the retcons.

Not only are they weak shitmons but they are normal which means they are not special, they're just lame. They have no special theme, aesthetic or characteristic like other types do, no symbolism, no myths or history. They are worthless filler type.

Skiddo and Gogoat's fur is literally made of leaves. They have plants growing out of their bodies.

Deerling/Sawsbuck only have a symbiotic relationship with the plant growing on the of top their heads. Kinda like Florges.

Please accept my headcanon.

I bet no here remembers this but...
When i was a kid when RGB and the TCG was new. It was common to call Normal types the "Colerless Type" or the "Light Type" they were called Colerless Pokemon and Light type Pokemon by early Pokefans alot.
They were probably originally meant to be light type along with dark type, but i dont think gf wanted to overcentralize an inevitable rivalry between two types and making kids choose between good and evil.

Dark types and energy weren't even around until the seventh expansion. Not talking about the dark pokemon from Team Rocket expansion. Light has only been a term used in the expansion Neo Destiny and it didn't signal any one type of energy.

And what makes you think I didn't know that? I mentioned patterns that most normal pokémon follow and Dunsparce is an exception to all of them.
>Tsuchinoko aren't mammals.
>Dunsparce isn't part flying.
>Dunsparce can't change types.

And that's what makes it one of the few Normal-type pokémon whose type I can't completely understand, along with the others I mentioned.

Improve your reading comprehension, fag.

Normal just refers to a balanced Pokemon, who tends not to be related to any specific elements. Stuff like Pyroar or Helioptile are normal because they're balaced and only tangentially related to their element.

Eviolite. Porygon2 already has better defenses, and with eviolite, it can tank very well. The speed Porygon-Z has isn't too helpful when it is still generally slow.

I feel like the Normal type makes the mons who have it acquire behaviors that are normal (kek) of the animals they're based of.

Deerling and Sawsbuck both look and act like deer/stag. Litleo and Pyroar form prides similar to those of real lions.

Heliolisk flares its frills and runs around to intimidate other pokemon, kind of like how frilled lizards do it. It also has a very similar anatomy to a real lizard, at least when compared to other lizard mons.

My point is that it doesn't fit any of the patterns for other normal pokémon I can list, and thus, based on MY concept of what makes a normal type, Dunsparce feels weird in that type.

If you know some obscure trivia about Tsuchinokos that make Dunsparce seem like an obvious normal type to you and YOUR concept of what's a normal type, that's still completely irrelevant to the point I was trying to make in the first post.
