>>32755842Normal is fine as it is, but if we're talking about changes, I think there are only 2 "buffs" that would make sense for them:
>Completely neutral against all typesNothing resists it, nothing is weak to it. It is weak to nothing, has no resistances. A true neutral, all-purpose type, which is the idea behind normal to begin with.
However, considering the kind of mons we have nowadays, the "true neutral" approach would affect the meta for the worst, making explosion incredibly more common (nothing can switch in to tank it, you're guarantee to dent 1 out of 6 opponent mons everytime), return would be EVERYWHERE, giving physical sweepers a perfect neutral coverage option of 102 power to abuse against anything they can't hit harder. Normal types themselves would gain from having STAB on these unresisted strong moves, but ultimately the already good normal types would become better by losing their fighting weakness, while the already bad normal types would become worse by losing their ghost immunity and being even more outclassed by literally everything.
>Giving it a fairy resistMundane people don't believe in fairies and are oblivious to magic. While ghosts are on a completely different plane and thus they just cannot affect normal mons no matter what, fairies are still just physical beings with magic bullshit, and their power decreases greatly if no one believes in them, so normal resisting them could be justified.
This would make normal a 1-weakness, 1-resistance, 1-immunity type. Still no offensive prowess, but they'd have 1 out of every defensive matchup they could have. Completely "average". This fairy resist gives them another thing they can switch into, and abuse their huge coverage on. All normal types gain from this, and all around it helps balancing fairy, even if that type has other bigger problems to adress, but we have a thread about that every week so I digress.
