Psychic and fairy moves are the biggest threat, especially as fighting Pok\u00e9mon often have low special defence, but you should do your best to avoid all three of these dangerous typings. <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"mHoqiGgna1k\" data-embed-type=\"standard\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"YouTube Thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" height=\"309\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/mHoqiGgna1k\/sddefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"> <\/div>\n<h2>What are fighting Pok\u00e9mon resistances?<\/h2>\n<p>Fighting Pok\u00e9mon are resistant to dark-, rock-, and bug-type attacks, making them perfect for taking into a forest on a pitch-black night. The bug-type resistance isn\u2019t too helpful, with Pok\u00e9mon distinctly lacking in potent bugs, but the option to switch in a fighting Pok\u00e9mon when faced with a rock or dark Pok\u00e9mon might help turn the tide of a battle. <\/p>\n<h2>What are fighting Pok\u00e9mon strengths?<\/h2>\n<p>The fighting-type is easily one of the most offensive in Pok\u00e9mon, with five different types hit for super-effective damage by fighting moves. If you face an opponent who specialises in any of these typings or has a couple of dual-type Pok\u00e9mon with these types, a fighting-type move is sure to do some impressive HP damage. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2023\/06\/fighting-type-weaknesses-logo.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-62129 lazyload\" title=\"fighting-type-weaknesses-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Custom image for Pokemon fighting weaknesses guide with the fighting type icon\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2023\/06\/fighting-type-weaknesses-logo-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>There you have it, our fighting Pok\u00e9mon weakness guide.
