Raising normal type Pokemon

How do you guys do it? Normal and ground types are some of the most badass looking Pokemon in the game yet they're always difficult to raise because I'm the type of papaya that throws a water type out when facing a fire type and expect a 1hko. Thus making Pokemon with elements the easiest to raise. But that little chance to raise ground and normal types and usually I just end up shuffling through grass to raise my flying types.
