Dont be talking shit about Lion King. Proud Roar is such a cool move wasted by its statline.

Show me a half-Normal that you think doesn't make sense and I will explain it.

More pokemon should have been part normal from the beginning, they're just trying to rectify their mistake.

Watch it be a Legendary with a Wonder Guard tier ability and a great movepool and killer speed.

Ponyta and Rapidash should be Fire/Normal.

I'm surprised GF hasn't done any double-typings yet with their propensity to dole out quirky meme typings. (i.e. Fire-Fire, Water-Water, etc) Every weakness is a 4x weakness but they get double-STAB

>>28114196

Why is Growlithe pure Fire, then? And Vulpix?

The fighting weakness is usually worse than the ghost immunity, so only ghost/normal really benefits from the normal type.

>>28113994

also you know that GF is not 100% consistent

>>28114375
Pyroar is emblematic of the sound qualities of the normal type, because of its signature move and hyper voice, lions are loud it makes sense

Helioptile and Heliolisk on the other hand, I don't understand why they're Normal

FUCKING FAIRIES.

I've always imagined on a broad level, if a pokemon is mostly a normal animal that uses or is connected to an element, then it'd be Normal/Whatever. Like Pyroar is a lion with fire powers.

When a pokemon is actually made up of the element, then its pure Whatever, like Slugma being Fire type.

>>28114326

...is pure Rock.

is tied with poison, which doesn't mean normal isn't the one with least combinations

both are, you retard

>>28113821
I feel like a Rock/Ghost with Levitate or Storm Drain would be viable, especially if it were SpA based with Power Gem.

I think we're well overdue for a SpAtk based Rock type, ideally a speedy one. Power Gem, Earth Power, maybe Solar Beam for Sun team bonus coverage. What Gigalith should have been.

>>28115804
>someone screencap this
do it yourself.

>>28115861
Then it would be a fucking fire type.

>>28115825
to be fair i said plausibility, not possibility. but there could be reasons.

>>28115883
Charmander is not pure fire

It has skin and bones

A pure fire creature would have to be extra weak to water since all it has is fire

The majority of all the fucking birds are normal or split

The only pure Flying type is this shit

>>28116014

Normal and ghost are immune to each other

So technically 3 immunities

>>28114249
I doubt they would do this just as a species default typing, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Mega Evolution for a monotyped mon that functioned this way, or just a non-Mega weird form change gimmick.

>>28113953

>Pretty much mammal type

I wish half normal was never a thing. Would be cool to just have a type that stands on it's own.

Fucking birds.

>>28116544
>Only gains Fighting weakness with certain combinations
Kind of misleadingly worded, since the combinations where it doesn't gain a weakness, it drops down from a resistance to regular effectiveness. Not devastating, but not nothing.

>>28114249
This is already the case for all monotype Pokémon. For instance, according to the game's code, Rattata is a normal/normal Pokémon.
