Fighting type

The is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
Pokémon of this type are specialists in melee attacks, such as punches and kicks. It could be said that they're the opposite to -type Pokémon because while Pokémon of that type depend primarily on special attacks, Pokémon of the type depend mostly on physical attacks. In particular, every -type attack introduced before Generation IV remained a physical attack, with special attacks only being introduced from Generation IV onwards.
Most -type Pokémon have a human-like body shape because they represent practitioners of various martial arts, which tend to be real-world humans. Some -type Pokémon are represented by looking like fighters (Machamp looks like a bodybuilder and Crabrawler looks like a French-wrestler) while other are represented by being based on a certain type of fighting style (Hitmontop is based on capoeira fighting and Gallade is based on sword-fighting). A considerable number of -type Pokémon are predominantly or exclusively male. They can also be represented by simply just having incredible strength (such Pokémon such as Bewear, Pangoro, Crabominable, Conkeldurr and others have this).
-type Pokémon have varied ways to evolve as this represents a fighter going on a journey to get stronger and find out who he/she is supposed to be.
Every generation has introduced at least one -type specialist: Bruno, the second member of the Kanto and Johto Elite Four; Chuck, the fifth Gym Leader of the Johto region; Brawly, the second Hoenn Gym Leader; Maylene, the third Gym Leader of Sinnoh; Marshal, a member of the Unova Elite Four; Korrina, the third Gym Leader of the Kalos region; Hala, the Melemele Island Kahuna of the Alola region, Bea, the fourth Gym Leader of Galar in Pokémon Sword, and Eri the boss of Team Star's Caph Squad in Paldea.

==Relations with other types==
*They have no effect against the type because it's impossible to hit an incorporeal being. However, the type is neutral to the type.
* They're strong against the type because it's a common theme in martial arts and fighting fiction that heroism always wins, and a fighter must be prepared to face his/her fears, some of which are represented by the type.
*They're strong against the type because a fighter can easily beat a normal person.
*They're strong against the , and types in terms of textures because ice can be shattered with a strong punch, some fighters are trained to destroy rocks, and steel objects can be easily bent.
*They're weak against the type because the brain also regulates all muscle functions in most animals, and the most skilled master minds can overpower the most skilled fighters, hence the term "brains over brawn" and "mind over matter".
* They're weak against the type because it's been long said that height is a large advantage when it comes to battle, as it's difficult to hit something that's moving in the air and that dropping attacks have the advantage of gravitational acceleration when it comes to attacking. It may also be due to the fact that doves are symbols of peace.
*They're weak against the type because physical strength can't do anything against magic, especially when the welders of magic can put a spell on them.
*They resist the type because fighters, with their strength, can easily withstand bugs.
*The type resists them because bugs generally have an exoskeleton which can protect them from blows. This is also evident as these Pokémon of that type are much bigger than average insects.
*The type resists them because the body is a fighter's weapon, and it can be damaged by poison. Interestingly, they're not weak to the -type.
==Trivia==
*The type was the last type: 
**To receive the type with Hawlucha in Generation VI.
**To receive the type with Pawmo, Pawmot, and Iron Hands in Generation IX.
*There are only six -type moves in the Special category: Vacuum Wave, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Final Gambit, Quick Guard, and Secret Sword.
**From all 6 moves above, Quick Guard is the only non-damaging Special -type move.
*Every generation has introduced at least one character that specializes in -type Pokémon.
**If types introduced after Generation I are counted, the and type also follow this trend.
*Hisuian Lilligant is currently the only -type Pokémon that is exclusively female.
