It panders to normies by being sold as DLC and toys.
Serious answer, it's because neutrality, especially in context of Pokemon whose gimmick is all about changing into any type, is represented by the Normal type.

or a paradox, which are just ultra beasts under a new name

Lots of Pokemon in the Normal type aren't "normal", they're just there because they don't fit into any other type.

"It" is the correct way to refer to any Pokémon regardless of its gender rates. There are some single-gender species in real life and we don't call the species "he" or "she" as if it is a single individual, a person no less.
This whole brain damage comes from furries interpreting Pokémon as cartoon character designs, which unfortunately infected GF itself in newer gens

yeah they call everything "it" in the anime or just don't use a pronoun at all. even trainers referring to their own mons which they would probably know the gender of.

Several characters in the franchise use gendered pronouns for their mons. Liko calls Sprigatito/Floragato "she", Arven always refers to his Mabosstiff as "he". Just to name two recent examples.
It is pretty inconsistent, but they're definitely not exclusively using "it".

It's a turtle. Turtles are pretty normal so long as they don't have water cannons on their back and don't live in sewers eating pizza.

why does it look so shitty and stupid? it's a generic gem with limp tubes for limbs and even a head, with random ass stars all over it just cause. it's head is just bayleaf painted blue and autistic.

That's its "normal" form. In battle, it's always in this form.

Referring to a specific individual Pokémon with a gendered pronoun may be valid since people also do that with their pets irl, but referring to entire species in the abstact that way is never valid.

Normal often represents balancing of types. See Tri-Attack and normal types having massive movepools. Or see how Magcargo is a Fire type even though it’s made out of Lava.

It's normal in the same sense as Arceus or Ditto, "normal" is used as "neutral" here, as in "all-encompassing"

>>56075495
Normal types fall into two categories:

“It’s just a creature” (Lillipup, Raticate, Bibarel, most regional birds)

“We couldn’t think of any other type to give this thing” (Porygon, Lickitung, Exploud, Regigigas)

Terapagos falls into the former category.

Some mons are normal in the sense that normal = sound or noise. Hence Exploud, Drampa, Meloetta etc

Better question: Why did they go out of the way to give it a 50/50 gender ratio, then lock the only one you can get as male? If they didn't want you to own a female version, why not do what they did with Ogerpon and just make it 100% male from the start, or keep it Gender Unknown?

Probably to drive home the point that the species is basically extinct and (You)r Terapagos is the last surviving specimen (also known as an "endling"), which means that it cannot reproduce. The species is thus functionally extinct.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a reference to "Lonesome George", a male Pinta Island tortoise that was found to be the last of its species. He lived for about 110 years, of which he spent about 40 years in captivity as an endling.
