Effect

In battle

Normalize makes all moves (including status moves) used by the Pokémon with this Ability act as though they were Normal-type instead of their usual type.

If Normalize makes Thunder Wave a Normal-type move, Thunder Wave can affect Ground-type Pokémon but not Ghost-type Pokémon, unless the Ghost-type Pokémon is holding a Ring Target or affected by Foresight or Odor Sleuth.

If the move Flying Press is affected by Normalize, it deals Normal/Flying-type damage. If the move Freeze-Dry is affected by Normalize, its ability to hit Water-type Pokémon super effectively is retained.

If Electrify or Ion Deluge is used on a Pokémon with Normalize, all its moves turn to the Electric type rather than Normal type.

Generation IV

Hidden Power, Weather Ball, Natural Gift, and Judgment are affected by Normalize.

Generations V and VI

Hidden Power, Weather Ball, Natural Gift, Judgment, and Techno Blast are not affected by Normalize.

Generation VII onwards

Normal-type moves used by the Pokémon with this Ability now receive a 20% power boost, except moves that cannot be affected by Normalize. This boost applies to both moves that are originally Normal-type and moves that become Normal-type due to Normalize.

Multi-Attack, Terrain Pulse and damaging Z-Moves are not affected by Normalize.

Outside of battle

Normalize has no effect outside of battle.
