Fighting type... defensively, it's a mixed bag but offensively it's one of the most versatile and competitive types in the games. Apparently this means it contains a bunch of beefy, veiny uggos. Yes Fighting is my least favorite type, but there are a few standouts.
Top 5
5. Croagunk
I would probably not love Croagunk nearly as much if not for Brock's Croagunk in the anime. He's... weird. And just cool.
4. Mienshao
It's a kung fu-fighting ermine. Seriously, how cool is that? It's on the list because I like how it plays. It can't really take hits at the level of most other Fighters so it emphasizes speed and elusiveness (hit and run tactics). Plus, it's a kung fu-fighting ermine. Oh, did I say that already?
3. Virizion
Truth be told I like Virizion more than the top two pokémon on my list. So why's it lower? Well... I feel like it doesn't embody the spirit of the Fighting type as much as either of the next two. I look at it and I see a Grass type who can also fight.
2. Lucario
From everything I've heard, Lucario is solid in his debut game, and I know for a fact he's solid in Gen5. Not to mention he's essentially the poster pokémon of the generation I've never touched. He's got his own movie; he's got several anime spots; he's got an appearance in Brawl (and he's always kicking my ass when my friend plays him). He's everywhere! And he's always looking cool. It's pretty hard not to like this guy.
1. Cobalion
I know. Fighting isn't Cobalion's primary type either, but just look at him. He's stocky, and muscular. He looks like he's hard to knock over whereas Virizion looks willowy and fragile. There's a reason Cobalion is the Musketeers' leader!
Honorable mention: Infernape
He beats out Heracross for the HM because Hera hasn't found a place on my team for quite a while. Infernape is my favorite of the (two too many) Fire/Fighting starters.
