In contrast to {{t|Psychic}} types, most Fighting types are [[physical move|physical]] attackers due to their typically high {{stat|Attack}}. Contrary to Psychic-type moves, Fighting-type moves that were introduced before [[Generation IV]] are physical moves (with the exception of a Fighting-type {{m|Hidden Power}}). However, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves that Fighting types could learn prior to [[Generation IV]]. | In contrast to {{t|Psychic}} types, most Fighting types are [[physical move|physical]] attackers due to their typically high {{stat|Attack}}.

Most Fighting-type Pokémon can learn {{type|Rock}} moves to counter {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Flying}} resistances to Fighting-type moves, although Flying types have markedly higher average [[Speed]] and there are no [[priority]] Rock-type moves, which can result in defensive issues. {{t|Ghost}} types are immune to Fighting-type attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the Ability {{a|Scrappy}}. Owing to this, the Fighting type does well offensively in tangent with {{t|Ghost}} type attacks, and such a combination will provide at least neutral damage to all type combinations bar Normal/Ghost, which no Pokémon can currently possess unless under the effects of {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. Offensively some Dark-type moves also provide good coverage, but {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon resist both Dark and Fighting. Despite this, many Fighting types can also learn {{t|Poison}} type moves (particularly {{m|Poison Jab}}) to help counter Fairy-type Pokémon. | Most Fighting-type Pokémon can learn {{type|Rock}} moves to counter {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Flying}} resistances to Fighting-type moves, although Flying types have markedly higher average [[Speed]] and there are no [[priority]] Rock-type moves, which can result in defensive issues. {{t|Ghost}} types are immune to Fighting-type attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the Ability {{a|Scrappy}}.
