Fighting-type moves are strong against Normal, Rock, Ice, Dark, and Steel Pokémon, dealing super-effective (2×) damage to those types.

Quick Scoop: What Is Fighting Type Strong Against?

In the mainline Pokémon games, when you use a Fighting-type move (like Close Combat or Brick Break), it hits extra hard against these types:

  • Normal
  • Rock
  • Ice
  • Dark
  • Steel

That means:

  • Your Fighting-type attack does 2× damage to any of those types.
  • If the opponent is, for example, Rock/Steel, a Fighting move can even do 4× damage.

Simple Example

  • Machamp using Dynamic Punch on a Tyranitar (Rock/Dark) is a classic: Fighting is super effective on both Rock and Dark, so the hit is brutally strong.

Small Extra Tip

While Fighting is great offensively, remember:

  • It does no damage at all to Ghost types (they’re immune to Fighting moves).

So if you’re just trying to remember “what is Fighting type strong against,” keep this short list in mind: Normal, Rock, Ice, Dark, Steel.
