What are the most common Type 1 Pokémon?
Understanding which Pokémon types are most common is the first step in building a competitive team. A type with a large pool of Pokémon gives trainers more options to choose from, making it easier to find one that suits their team's needs. This analysis looks at the distribution of primary types across all 800 Pokémon to identify which types dominate the Pokédex.
The chart reveals that Water is the most common primary type with 112 Pokémon, followed closely by Normal with 98. Grass and Bug round out the top four with 70 and 69 respectively. At the other end of the spectrum, Flying is the rarest primary type with only 4 Pokémon, as most Flying types carry it as a secondary type rather than a primary one. This wide distribution across 18 types means trainers have significantly more Water and Normal type options available when selecting their team.
