Gen 8. Game Freak announces they will make Normal type Super Effective against something. There is no way around this.
What type do you think they SHOULD make it SE against (and what type do you think they WOULD make it SE against)?

Fairy.
But they'd probably make it strong against Bug or Grass.

Electric. Only reason it doesn't have a second weakness is being mascot type.

Nvm, didn't read the full question. They'd make it strong against bug.

Make it super-effective against Fairies, under the rationale that as being completely normal, they can more easily pierce through Fairies' whimiscal tricks and other defenses.

Just be sure to keep Fairy attacks against Normal types at normal effectiveness. Hopefully that would shut up everyone who says that the Fairy type needs a nerf.

There's also the whole "Humanity is strong" thing that human characters promote in fantasy settings.

It should be fairy because fairy is almost like Magic, and normality, reality, is the most different thing from magic.

Normal should've been immune to fairy. If normal doesn't believe in ghosts, then they shouldn't believe in fairys either. I could argue dragons as well, but there are dragons(lizards) that exist irl.

>What I think they should make it strong against
Fairy. I like fairies but I'd find it amusing if they were weak to normal. Plus part steel/rock/ghost fairies would become more meaningful.

>What I think they would make it strong against
Itself. This is gamefreak, they'll find a way to blow it, and that way is making normal SE on normal

Dragon would make the most sense:
>both are "non-elemental" types
>the everyday guy nobody expected ends up becoming a hero and slaying the dragon
>Normal has a lot of mammals and mammals replaced reptiles as the dominant vertebrates
But now that would make Dragon a shitty type without a buff to go with it.
>>31743430
Normal is immune to Ghost because ghosts phase through matter, and Normies have less "elemental energy" for the ghost to attack.

What if GF made it so that Normal is no longer resisted by Rock and Steel, and no longer takes SE damage from Fighting (immunities still apply)? How would the metagame change?

IMO the entire point of normal types is not to be Se against anything and to be the most videspread attacking type. Buffing Normal attacks would buff other types, not just normals.

I would give Normal types more resistances and immunities though.
