How Fighting plays

Fighting-types punch holes with Close Combat/Drain Punch/Mach Punch and threaten setup (Bulk Up/Swords Dance). They pair well with Dark (covers Psychic) and Electric or Rock (to smash Flying). Priority access makes them excellent revenge killers.

Team-building notes

• Cover blind spots: pair Fighting with partners that answer the weaknesses above.
• Create a pivot path: use U-turn/Volt Switch/Parting Shot or status to bring your breaker in safely.
• Speed control: priority or fast teammates let your core close once checks are chipped.
• Win-con clarity: decide if Fighting is your breaker, cleaner, or glue—and support that role with hazards/screens/heal.
