Characteristics
Defense
While the Fighting type has three different weaknesses, Fighting-type Pokémon with a secondary Steel typing have the advantage of having those three weaknesses neutralized, leaving them only with Steel's weaknesses. Fighting-type Pokémon with a secondary Dark typing have their Psychic weakness completely immunized.
Offense
The Fighting type hits five different types for super-effective damage, the most for any type, tied by only the Ground type. It is the only type that deals super effective damage against Normal. Ghost's immunity to Fighting can be nullified by Foresight or Odor Sleuth.
Most Fighting-type Pokémon can learn Rock-type moves to check Bug-types and Flying-types. Additionally, many Fighting types can also learn Poison type moves to deal with Fairy types, as well as Dark and sometimes Ghost type moves to deal with Psychic-types. Notably, the combination of Fighting and Ghost deals at least neutral damage to all type combinations bar Normal/Ghost.
Aside from Normal, the Fighting type pairs well with every type offensively, with each type combo being good with at least six different types.
On average, Fighting-type Pokémon have the highest physical Attack of all types.
Contest properties
In Contests, Fighting-type moves are typically Cool or Tough moves. None of them are considered Cute.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 82 Fighting-type Pokémon or 8% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Fighting-type in at least one of their forms, including Mega Evolutions and regional forms), making it the 9th or 10th most common type, tying with Ground.

In the TCG
- Main article: Fighting (TCG)
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Fighting generally adopts all Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon under its typing.
Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Psychic with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against Colorless, Darkness and Lightning Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.
Trivia
- Generation V introduced the most Fighting-type Pokémon of any generation, with 16, and Generation II introduced the fewest, with three.
- Generations I, II, and IV introduced the most Fighting-type moves of any Generation, with eight, and Generation VII introduced the fewest, with only one: All-Out Pummeling.
- All Fighting-type moves that do damage only target one foe, and all physical Fighting-type moves make contact except for one, Meteor Assault.
- The Fighting type was the last type to receive a Pokémon with Flying as the other type, only receiving one with Hawlucha in Generation VI.
- Every region has a Fighting-type specialist.
- The Fighting type is the only type to have at least one Gym Leader or Elite Four member in every generation.
- Pokémon Shield is the only core series game not to feature a notable Fighting-type specialist, as Bea is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and replaced in Shield with Allister.
- Color representations for the Fighting type have generally been inconsistent in various Pokémon media. While the Fighting type has been associated with the color red in the main Pokémon games since Generation III and up to Sword and Shield, it is associated with orange in the Pokémon Stadium series, the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, and the main Pokémon games since Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It is also associated with the color brown in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
- The Fighting type is the most common secondary type for evolutions of starter Pokémon, with five starter lines being paired with it, three of them being Fire-type.
- The Fighting type could be considered a physical counterpart to the Psychic type:
- The highest average stat among all Fighting types is Attack, while for Psychic types it is Special Attack.
- While the Fighting type is the only formerly physical type to not have any old moves changed into special moves, the Psychic type is the only formerly special type to not have any old moves changed into physical moves.

- The Fighting and Bug types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
- Every Fighting-type Gym Leader and Elite Four member uses either a member of the Machamp line or a Lucario in at least one of their teams.
- The Fighting type is the only type that hasn't been paired with the Electric type.
- The Fighting type has the highest concentration of bipedal Pokémon (with or without tails, and with at least one pair of arms) of all types, with only 8 Pokémon of the 70 total that are any other body type.
