Defensively, the Fighting type has cons | 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. | ||
