Two Fighting Type Pokemon that Every Trainer Must Have
1. Machamp
Max CP: 2889
Best Moveset: Counter/Close Combat
CP | 2889 | Rank 24 |
ATK | 234 | Rank 18 |
DEF | 162 | Rank 103 |
STA | 180 | Rank 34 |
For most players, Machamp will be the strongest Fighting-Type Pokemon they'll ever encounter in the game. With great Attack and Stamina stats, Machamp is the perfect counter to wiping out Snorlax and Blissey from gyms and is also a viable top-level play in gyms. Machamp's biggest disadvantage is that its potential moveset contains two Steel-Type attacks, so there's a very good chance your Machamp will wind up with a move that doesn't have a same type attack bonus.
2. Poliwarth
Max CP: 2441
Best Moveset: Rock Smash/Hydro Pump
CP | 2441 | Rank 54 |
ATK | 182 | Rank 77 |
DEF | 187 | Rank 65 |
STA | 180 | Rank 34 |
Poliwrath is the only Water/Fighting dual-type Pokemon in Pokemon Go, which gives it a bit of extra versatility. Poliwrath's potential moveset includes both strong water and fighting moves, which gives players some extra options when deciding when to use it in battle. Poliwrath has an exceptionally high Stamina stat, which is probably why you see so many Poliwrath hanging around in the middle of gyms.

CP | 2938 | Rank 19 |

DEF | 189 | Rank 62 |
STA | 160 | Rank 59 |
