-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Uhh, just punch it to death? It's a normal type, it's weak against fighting.

Type barely matters once you're 5 levels apart.

Eh, Levels bring a linear increase in strength and durability, while an effective attack doubles your damage output. So you'd need twice your opponents level to make up for type disadvantage. Of course, that's assuming you're fighting against a pokemon controlled by a human player. However, wild pokemon can't take full advantage of their type advantage.
