Accepted! All of you are!

I have a topic

Do you think Normal Type Pokemon are underrated?
IMO, the are because they don't have very powerful or useful normals and they don't have any PURE normal legends. The exceptions are Blissey and Regigigs.

Anyone is free to post a topic btw

I wish to join this club. Normal Pokemon really don't get enough love. I personally am a fan of Ursaring's bad***ness.

Do you think Normal Type Pokemon are underrated?

Yesyesyesyes! Incredibly versatile, cute, and strong!

Here's a topic.

What are some good battling tactics involving Normal-types?
Skill Swap Medicham in a Double Battle with Slaking. Medicham uses Skill Swap on Slaking and we now have a Pure Power Slaking. Nevermind, Medicham can't Skill Swap. Then, just a Skill Swap+Slaking combo of some sort.

I love Normal-types, I tend to use at least one per playthrough.

My favorite normal-type is Miltank, for giving me a very fun challenge in the johto games.

A good Normal Pokemon Tactic is to teach it moves that would either help the rest of the team, or moves that aren't normal type, for example a Snorlax that knows Earthquake, Blizzard, Crunch, and ThunderBolt. That way you can choose that pokemon and have diferent defenses.
 

Porgon-XYZ

Wut are you saying?
1. I would like to join because normal types are my FAVORITE TYPE.

2.My favorite Normal-type pokemon is Porygon-Z. He's an epic powerhouse with his abilities!

I would like to join this club, as I am a fan of Normals.

I tend to like several. Teddiursa, Farfetch'd, Eevee, and Porygon have always been favorites.

As for strategies:
Tox Orb Zangoose can have a surprise Fling is store for Ghosts wishing to block its STAB.
Klutz Lopunny can Switcheroo an Iron Ball/Black Sludge/Flame Orb/Toxic Orb/Lagging Tail onto an opponent, or Fling Iron Ball, Flame Orb, Tox Orb, or Light Ball, for straight damage or extra effects.
Mixed Lickilicky can run Thunder Wave/Me First/Return/Power Whip(or Fire Blast, Ice Beam, etc), whilst Leftovers restores health.
Giga Impact or Hyper Beam will feed off of Slaking's Truant, since both are effectively the same result (with or without Choice Item or Life Orb). Slack Off and Protect can be used on him when passed Aqua Ring and/or Ingrain, holding Leftovers, when you have Toxic Spikes up, to anti-stall a PP staller, due to immense recovery and sturdy bulk. Due to Truant, PP drain is slowed by half, and Toxic poison will take enemies down fast. More bonus if Defensive boosts are passed as well.
Classic Raticate is full-on Physical with Flame Orb and Guts, sometimes with Swords Dance.
Thunder Dunsparce has a 60% chance to Paralyze after Serene Grace, and the slower foe can be hit by Serene Grace + flinch hax.
Technician Persian can run Nasty Plot/Shock Wave(Thunder or Thunderbolt, too)/Icy Wind/Swift (Hypnosis, Power Gem, Shadow Ball, Water Pulse, Dark Pulse viable alternatives). Physically, they can Hypnosis, Faint Attack/Bite, U-Turn, Return/Fury Swipes/Double Edge(fully executed Fury Swipes ~ 202.5 BP, Return ~ 153 BP, Double Edge ~ 180 BP + recoil), Iron Tail, Fake Out, Last Resort, Spite, Gunk Shot, Seed Bomb, Knock Off, Areial Ace, Snatch, Shadow Claw, Psych Up, Certain Natural Gifts. Several options, depending on needs. If you don't go with any =< 60 moves, Limber is better.

just a slice here...
