Characteristics

As of Generation IV, the Fighting-type, along with Ice and Ground, is often considered a key offensive type in the game. In the past, the type was not as effective thanks to the power of the Psychic-types, but now their useful resistances and vast type coverage allow many Fighting-types to sweep freely.

Defensively, the Fighting-type is acceptable. While many Fighting-types have below-average defenses, resistances to Dark and Rock are key.

Offensively, the Fighting-type is very powerful. It hits five different types with super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the Ground-type, with which it ties. It deals super-effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super-effective against Normal. It is super-effective against Ice, a key offensive but low defensive type. It is also one of the two types super-effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aid of Foresight/Odor Sleuth or the Scrappy ability. In the first three generations, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but this has changed with the introduction of Close Combat and increased availability of moves such as Superpower. If should be noted that the offensive combination Fighting and Ghost is resisted by no Pokémon, as only the theoretical typing Normal/Ghost would resist it.

When used in contests, Fighting-type moves typically become Cool or Tough, but can also be of two other Contest categories. No Fighting-type moves are of the Cute category.

In total, there are 25 Pokémon with the Fighting-type.
