The top Pokémon in Pokémon Go for fighting
Sometimes all you need to enter the ring and battle your rivals is a fighting Pokémon from Pokémon Go. This is the reason we've compiled a list of the top fighting Pokémon, who can tenderise the enemy with punches and kicks so strong they make Mike Tyson blush.We assure you that these "mon" have the ability to defeat opponents in the first round and, if needed, to go the whole distance.
On the other hand, our list of the top fire Pokémon is the place to go if you want a partner who can turn up the heat; if you want the opposite impact, these ice Pokémon could be a better pick. Alternatively, see our article on fighting Pokémon weakness to learn how to maintain your Machamp's momentum.
Enter the arena and start trading blows with Pokémon Go's greatest fighting Pokémon.
Machamp
- Fast attack: Low kick
- Charged attack: Focus blast
This is Machamp, the godfather of Pokémon battling, and he's a champion fighter with tremendous knockout power. We promise you that this generation one'mon is among the greatest in its class and that it has the ability to terminate a conflict just as fast as it begins.
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Aura sphere
Lucario
Lucario is a highly regarded Pokémon among fans, and for good reason—it's an all-around fierce fighter that can compete with most other Pokémon, regardless of kind. Not only does it strike violently, but it also moves quickly. You might say it hurts like a Beedrill and floats like a Butterfree.
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Dynamic punch
Conkeldurr's two enormous scaffold bars indicate its strength (it is undoubtedly a strong candidate for the title of strongest Pokémon), as well as its potential for arrogance. It can inflict significant damage and is capable of using some quite potent strikes, so we can see why it is so confident in itself.
Gallade
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Close combat
Gallade, the male Kirlia development, is a psychologically potent yet physically strong fighter. As a hybrid psychic and fighting type, it allows you to build some very potent combos that can really destroy the enemy. It doesn't hurt that it can strike like a goods train either. Unless you're the victim, in which case we anticipate it to be really unpleasant.
See our tutorial on psychic Pokémon weakness to get a significant edge against Gallade. And in case you are having trouble obtaining Gallade, see our Ralts evolution post where we explain how to get both Gallade and the psychic Pokémon Gardevoir.
Bewear
- Fast attack: Low kick
- Charged attack: Superpower
Check out our article onnormal Pokémon weakness to learn how to beat Bewear.
Hariyama
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Dynamic punch
If there's a trophy for the most irate-looking'mon, we believe Hariyama has a good chance of winning. Take a look at this enormous creature. It would be more than pleased to unleash mayhem and cast your enemies into the wide beyond.
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Dynamic punch
Toxicroak
If you feel that merely beating your opponent to death isn't enough, you may also want to poison them. Toxicroak is a fighting'mon that is also one of the greatest poison Pokémon available, making it very deadly in every sense of the term. Toxicroak is a fantastic example of a well-executed evolution that flawlessly builds upon Croagunk's design, even if this has little bearing on how successful it is in combat. Its design is among the best of all time.
See our poison Pokémon weakness guide to learn how to counteract Toxicroak's poison.
Blaziken
- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Focus blast
Another popular Pokémon is Blaziken, a fighting Pokémon that is also very skilled with fire, so you can really bring the fire to a battle. Its two kinds may be combined to produce a special arsenal of assaults that many will find difficult to counter.
See our flames Pokémon weakness guide to learn how to extinguish Blaziken's flames.
- Fast attack: Low kick
- Charged attack: Superpower
Chesnaught
It's time to blend combat with grass in Chesnaught, a really unique combination that may work to your advantage since most opponents won't be able to handle its attacks very well. Alternatively, you have a chance against most trainers, at the very least.

- Fast attack: Counter
- Charged attack: Close combat
Heracross
One of the greatest bug Pokémon may be a fierce fighting type—who would have guessed? Something seems off, doesn't it? But here we are, and Heracross is certain to create trouble for anyone happens to cross its path.
Simply refer to our bug Pokémon weakness guide to learn how to safeguard your'mon if Heracross is causing you any problems.
