"Ditto can learn any move" I get it, but Ditto notoriously can't learn any moves at all besides transform.

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

yeah but also the pokemon that can actually learn every move also kinda only learns one move. for a gen 1 pilled andy, ditto normal type that learns thunderbolt is well thought out

@@handoverthestromboli6715 Ahh, so I guess they've changed how Mew works? Mew used to be known for its ability to learn any possible move. I remember Smeargle but doesn't that just copy a move and keep it? Mew actually LEARNED the move itself.

@highlandersteve9953 Mew can learn every move taught using the TM items which was all of them in Gen 1 but not forever :(

The continous misunderstanding of what Normal means in pokemon is good

[@Michael-kp4bd]

I’ve played 4 generations and have no idea other than the resulting type strengths/weaknesses

[@samt3412]

​@Michael-kp4bd it's basically just the "nothing special about them"/"typeless" type. For example, Pidgey is normal type because it's just a bird while Ditto is normal type because it doesn't really have a type.

[@Michael-kp4bd]

@@samt3412 i mean there’s no logic to that. Birds are usually (dual) flying type... and other animal Pokémon might have types. There’s no logic to “birds are normal cuz they’re birds” Based off of animal or appearance, plenty of ground type could have been designated normal. But yeah for the most part (besides gen1-3 “physical” damage only) it’s just another type, which carves out more strategy/ makes the game interesting in subtle ways. Or someone could answer specifically “what Normal actually means in Pokémon” if they cared to! 😄 My understanding is, besides being intentionally the common initial Pokémon you run into early game, they were categorized as Physical. They do no super effective damage to any types whatsoever. The rest is just basic type- matrix stuff like any other type- interactions. Specifically, they’re “not very effective” against Rock and Steel, and are defensively weak against just Fighting. And Ghost and Normal both do no damage to each other. Nice and easy to memorize, instead of some other types who have defense/attack pros & cons different across so many other types, that you have to look up or remember.

[@RedChuJelly]

Normal type means pink, up until gen 6 at least.

Smeargle is a good answer for "can learn any move" as long as everything else works. Im pretty sure Smeargle is capable of learning any move, but im not a pokemon guy.

[@AlmondFisk]

You can't use Smeargle for that category

[@TheUltimateShade667]

Smeargle can't actually learn any move. It can only learn Sketch. Sketch copies the last move the opponent used.

[@karonuva]

I believe you'd want to go for Mew instead, they can learn every TM I'm pretty sure

[@imperiallarch7610]

​@@TheUltimateShade667The most recent in-game text for Sketch is "It enables the user to permanently learn the move last used by the target. Once used, Sketch disappears." A Pokémon that can learn Sketch can use it to learn any Sketchable move, it says it right in the text.

I think it's arguably better. Anyone who knows a little can guess an electric type, and people who are trying to prove they know Pokemon trivia can differentiate themselves by picking Stantler or whatever and get a higher score.

That was definitely a tough Pokedoku. There's like one or two ghost/fighting types, three normal/fighting types. Galarian ground types might number only two.

Also very few normal/ground and ghost/ground ones

[@karonuva]

@@TheMarkoSeke imo Ghost/Ground is easier cause Golett+evo are very iconic (runerigus too if you played SWSH), Normal/Ground definitely tripped me up though since Diggersby is a pretty forgettable pkmn and Ursaluna is too recent to have properly registered in my memory banks.
