Psychic was meant to be the most OP type but normal is even better. Mons like Taruos, Snorlax and Chanaey are better than all the psychics types except Mew and Mewtwo.

Every other normal type learns 8 billiin moves for some reason, but Aerodactyl can't learn rock slide.

Why is normal weak to fighting?

You're failing. So you blame congress, the president, you blame Greece. But if you looked in the mirror and blamed yourself, you wouldn't like it very much.

idk but fighting sucked in gen 1. Imagine the best fighting move literally being 80 base power with 80% accuracy and recoil LOL. So normal basically had no weaknesses in gen 1

In real life a fighter will typically beat a normal person

The move Psychic can lower special which covers both attack and defense in Gen 1, therefore psychic is definitely the most overpowered type.

Yes it's true.
I am happy to be stuck with you.

It's all fun and games until someone spams sleep and does debuff moves /defense buffs/ lowers accuracy until you can't hit anything within 1 feet of you

Most Pokmon where this would be useful you wouldn't be going against a psychic type anyways.

It helps that Hyper Beam didn't have the one turn skip if you fainted a Pokemon with it gen 1

because it needed a weakness

and because normal dudes can get OHKO'd by a punch to the face

Normal is a great type in RBY but Psychic is probably still a better type in and of itself. Typing definitely helps Lax Tauros and Chansey, but its not as much of a defining feature as it is for Psychics

I'd argue its not even top 3. Normal Psychic and Oce are probably the best in RBY

Nah. Gengar was too popular (despite the Psychic weakness).

Hell, didn't one of the Elite Four have like 3 Gengar on their team or something?

The only thing stopping Gengar from being the most powerful Pokemon in gen 1 is that it has poison type alongside ghost.

I was so pissed when they decided to make ghost a physical and not special attack type during those early gens. Ghost finally had a decent move in Shadow Ball in gen 2 and...it was fucking physical so Curselax was the best at using it lol
