The '''Fighting type''' (Japanese: '''かくとうタイプ''' ''Fighting type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Fighting-type Pokémon are [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]], [[Marshal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four, and [[Korrina]] of [[Shalour City]]. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several Trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is no longer an official Gym.

Defensively, the Fighting type has cons and pros. Fighting-type Pokémon have key resistances to Dark and Rock, but their weaknesses are to the common Flying and Psychic types. It is also very possible for a Fighting type to fall to Psychic moves in one turn, due to a mid-range Special Defense and Psychic types' tendency to have high Special Attack. However, several Fighting Pokémon (like {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Scraggy}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Cobalion}}) have a subtype that rids them of the Psychic weakness, with Scraggy and Scrafty being completely immune due to their secondary type of Dark (unless they are affected by Miracle Eye). | Defensively, the Fighting type has cons and pros.

Offensively, the Fighting type is one of the most powerful and commonly used types. It hits five different types with super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the {{type|Ground}}, 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 {{t|Ice}} types, a key offensive but low defensive type. It is also one of the three types super-effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}/{{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the {{a|Scrappy}} Ability. In the first three generations, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but this has changed with the introduction of {{m|Close Combat}}, increased availability of moves such as {{m|Superpower}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}'s power boost in [[Generation V]]. The Fighting type also pairs up well with the {{t|Dark}} type offensively as {{p|Croagunk|only}} {{p|Toxicroak|three}} {{p|Heracross|Pokémon}} currently resist a Fighting/Dark combination. However, most Fighting-type Pokémon can learn Rock-type moves (such as {{m|Stone Edge}}) to counter {{type|Flying}} and {{type|Bug}} resistances to Fighting-type moves. | Offensively, the Fighting type is one of the most powerful and commonly used types.
