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, Psychic and Fairy 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}}, {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Pangoro}}) have a subtype that rids them of the Psychic weakness, with Scraggy, Scrafty and Pangoro being completely immune due to their secondary type of Dark (unless they are affected by Miracle Eye), but with the disadvantage of bein four times weak to Fairy-type moves. There is, however, the opposite too, with some Pokémon that are able to be neutraly affected to Fairy-type move and be able to counterattack with Poison-type moves, but being four times weak to Psychic, like {{p|Croagunk}} and {{p|Toxicroak}}.
Defensively, the Fighting type has its pros and cons. Fighting-type Pokémon have key resistances to Dark and Rock, but their weaknesses are to the common Flying, Psychic and Fairy types. It is also highly likely for a Fighting-type to fall to a Psychic or Fairy move in one turn, due to their mid-range Special Defense and many powerful Psychic and Fairy-type moves being special attacks. However, some Fighting-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Cobalion}}, have a second type that cancels out their Psychic weakness.  {{p|Scraggy}}, {{p|Scrafty}} and {{p|Pangoro}} are immune to Psychic due to their {{t|Dark}} typing, but with the disadvantage of being four times weak to {{t|Fairy}}-type moves. Fighting-types that have secondary {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Steel}} or {{t|Poison}} typing also have the advantage of having their Fairy weakness nullified.
