the next few post baring something random i want to put up will have my six top favorite pokèmon of each type. You maybe asking yourself why 6. Well here are my reasoning. some Categories like normal and water have a ton of different pokèmon in it. while other categories like Fighting and ghost are relatively small categories. Six seemed like a nice even number that i could pick that allowed some of my favorites to get in, and highlight what i believe to also be exceptional members of the type.
Now some ground rules for this. Legendary pokèmon, ones that you only get one shot at, and cannot breed will not be considered. they just got their own post, also since most legendaries are the top of their class it is not fair to the other regular pokèmon to be compared to them.
do not be surprised to see repeats in some of the categories since a good chunk of pokèmon are duel type. The only category duel typing was not allowed was normal/ flying because almost half the bird pokèmon out there are that type.
Each Type will have its own post, because otherwise this blog post will be far to long.
Like always this is my personal opinion, but i welcome you to write your favorites down below.
Without Further adieu, my top 6 favorite normal.
6:
Furret and Linoone: the Game is notorious for giving players a decent starting normal with in the first couple of areas you venture out in. What makes these starting normals so great is often the fact they evolve rather quickly, They learn a good chunk of HM moves, and there stats are decent enough to help you out in the first couple of gyms. Sentret and Zigzagoon are the ideal starting normal pokèmon the wide variety of moves they learn make them awesome little Swiss army knives as i often called them. Lanoone will even pick up surf later on if you don’t have a water pokèmon handy. While as you progress you will find better pokèmon to battle with, for early game pokèmon these two and there early evolutions have to be acknowledged for helping you out in a tough scrap.

Ditto: Now i have mentioned this little guy before, in my top ten Pokèmon i would never use in battle. So I will keep this brief, What makes ditto special is its ability to breed with just about anything except legendaries. To have that ability opens up a lot of doors in game, you can breed fully evolved pokèmon to said over to a friend, or say you catch the fully evolved version of something late in the game and you need its starting form for a dex entry, well give it to Ditto. Ditto is very useful in the world of breeding and no other pokèmon can match what he or she does for the player. Ditto can be hard to find, but he is always worth the catch.

Snoutland family: This is another early game normal pokèmon you can catch. Unlike Linoone and Furret as this one grows up he can become a powerful addition to your team. His stats are great and like most normal pokèmon he has a great pool of moves he can use. For me the ability to learn Crunch one of Dark’s most powerful moves sets him apart. This along with the different amount of moves he can learn coupled with a decent HP mark made him a great pokèmon to play though black with. He was one Early normal i can say did not go into the box, he was not really outclassed by many normal pokèmon found in that game and that is what lands him and his family in my top 6.
3:
Eevee: Oh Eevee, honestly one of my favorite pokèmon in the game. This little ball of fluff just has so much potential to it, the ability to evolve into almost any different types with 8 solid evolutions and I am almost positive more to come; having an eevee in game is almost mandatory at this point. There is something just so likable about this pokèmon besides its ability to evolve it like most normals has a good chunk of moves it can learn on its own, or though TM. Probably its most valuable move is bite, that dark move, learning it as an eevee then transferring it to its evolutions makes eevee a threat to most psychic pokèmon out there, especially if it moves to Espeon. their is no doubt in my mind Eevee is a special pokèmon that deserves its place here on this list.

Blissey family: I actually not a big fan of pink pokèmon, jiggly is ok, and i hate cliffary, so why is Blissey spared, Because it is a good pokèmon. Besides being a pain in the ares to evolve (you try finding a shiny stone in black 2!) This is a very good pokèmon. Like most normals it learns a wide verity of moves, which lets face it, makes most normal’s unpredictable in battle. it has solid HP numbers making this family a great tank. Sometimes, when you in the elite four you at that final pokèmon and your team is exhausted or dead, throwing a good tank out their to give you a chance to heal up the rest of your team can be invaluable. i am glad that over the years this family has grown a bit, because this is a good family to have on your side.

Snorlax: Having a tank in this game can be invaluable, having a tank in this game that can also inflict a world of hurt on to your opponent is just an added bonus. Snorlax is that triple combo of HP Defense and Attack that just makes him a great Normal pokèmon. With the wide verity of moves that is the vary nature of normal pokèmon and natural moves it can also learn it makes him crazy unpredictable as well. my favorite moment with this pokèmon is when he use metronome and flew into the air in stadium. he was up against a very tiny pikachu i can only imagine what would go though that Pokèmon’s mind seeing a giant snorlax flying into the air. I am also a big fan of his design, he just always looks so happy to be there. Snorlax is just a great Pokèmon and often and invaluable member of my team. I would love to see if he gets a Mega evolution in the upcoming games, but part of me is just happy to see him as is, because in my eyes he is just perfect the way he is.
So that concludes this list of my top 6 normal pokèmon, next up Water.
