What are fighting Pokémon weaknesses?
Until gen six, there were just two fighting Pokémon weaknesses in psychic- and flying-types, but these days there are also fairy Pokémon to contend with. Psychic and fairy moves are the biggest threat, especially as fighting Pokémon often have low special defence, but you should do your best to avoid all three of these dangerous typings.
What are fighting Pokémon resistances?
Fighting Pokémon are resistant to dark-, rock-, and bug-type attacks, making them perfect for taking into a forest on a pitch-black night. The bug-type resistance isn’t too helpful, with Pokémon distinctly lacking in potent bugs, but the option to switch in a fighting Pokémon when faced with a rock or dark Pokémon might help turn the tide of a battle.
What are fighting Pokémon strengths?
- Dark Pokémon
- Steel Pokémon
- Ice Pokémon
- Normal Pokémon
- Rock Pokémon
The fighting-type is easily one of the most offensive in Pokémon, with five different types hit for super-effective damage by fighting moves. If you face an opponent who specialises in any of these typings or has a couple of dual-type Pokémon with these types, a fighting-type move is sure to do some impressive HP damage.
