Give Snorlax access to Slack Off and it would probably be pretty good. It was doing well in gen 7 when they buffed the super sitrus berries.

Make better Normal types. Ursaluna (and Blood Moon), both Indeedees, Smargle, and Terapagos show that Normals can be very strong when made correctly.

The hell is a ZU? Back in my day we only had NU, UU, BL, OU and Uber. No really, what are all these new tiers? I heard there's even an Untiered tier.

BL was never a tier, it was a ban list for UU.
ZU is zero use, which comes below PU, which is lower than NU. Untiered isn't a tier, it's just Pokemon who couldn't reach the usage cutoff for ZU.

And what does PU stand for? They also have banlists for the lower tiers now, don't they?

How do we get OP to play the game instead of staring at smogshit tier lists to pretend he’s knowledgeable about the game?

The RS meta currently has way more BL mons than OU, almost twice as many. It should be made an actual tier.

Yes, every tier has a ban list. But instead of BL1-whatever like they had prior to gen 6, now it's just UUBL, RUBL, etc.

in snorlax's case either return the 50% berries or give it slack-off

In general?
Give normal some kind of offensive edge on non-STAB. Normal will never be SE and has to use coverage for that. A passive 1.1x boost on non-STAB would do quite a lot for the type.

One day, people will realize that a mons Showdown usage and its viability are not 1:1 linked
I've been using Quagsire to shit on various OU threats for 20+ years now, even before it had Unaware
But to the topic of this thread, Normal doesn't need buffs- it's the "standard" type that is used to get people used to the game, or offer neutral coverage when STAB isn't available or useable
Many of the highest power moves in the game are Normal type for this reason

Mono Normal types should get a x1.2 modifier to their non-STAB attacks and to their defenses.
Dual Normal types should get the same but with a x1.1 modifier instead.

Quagsire's entire fucking niche is that is a useful off meta Pokemon that finds roles in various, random spots through the years. It is absolutely an exception and acting like you can make any garden variety normal Pokemon viable the same way Quag does is retarded.

Normal is an active hinderance to all the Pokemon with it.
It was fine in earlier gens when being neutral was actually good and when Close Combat wasn’t on everything. But since then Close Combat is on over 1/5th of all Pokemon and STABs have been getting stronger too. Also a lot more Steel types and Ghost types.
