===Offense===
Offensively, the Fighting type is one of the most powerful and commonly used types. It hits five different types for super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the {{type|Ground}}, with which it ties. It is super effective against the {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} types, which generally have high Defense, and is the only type that deals super-effective damage against {{t|Normal}}. It is super effective against {{t|Ice}} types, a type frequently utilised for offence but with notoriously bad defence. It is also one of only three types that are super effective against {{t|Dark}}.

However, in the disadvantage side, there are 5 types that are resisting this type, especially the new type is introduced, {{t|Fairy}}-type, particularly and the most common dual typing, Psychic/Flying, Psychic/Fairy and Fairy-Flying dual type Pokemon, and this type has somewhat have difficulty to beat the dual types mentioned.


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]].
