5 best Fighting-type Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
5) Toxicroak
Toxicroak has an awesome dual-typing of Poison/Fighting. That does bring with it a massive 4x weakness to Psychic-type attacks, but it can hold its against any other Pokemon. With a base Attack stat of 106, Toxicroak can poison opponents and beat them down.
4) Heracross
Trainers have a low chance of encountering Heracross at a Honey Tree in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. The Bug/Fighting-type isn't very defensive or fast, but has a whopping 125 base Attack stat. There are plenty of Fighting and Bug-type moves to deal damage with.
3) Machamp
Machamp is an original Fighting-type Pokemon. The four-armed behemoth returns in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl with all the same strength and grit it has always had. Its base Attack stat is 130, but everything else is lackluster. Machamp isn't special or unique compared to others, but it is just a straight up fighting machine.
2) Lucario
Lucario is one of the strongest Pokemon around. Trainers in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl can evolve a Riolu after hatching the Egg received by Riley. Riolu evolving into Lucario gives trainers a creature with 90 Speed, 110 Attack, and 115 Special Attack. Not to mention, it has access to some incredible moves as a Fighting/Steel-type.
1) Infernape
The final form of the Fire-type starter, Chimchar, is none other than Infernape. The Fire/Fighting-type Pokemon is a tough one. It has a wild 108 base Speed and even Attack and Special Attack at 104. That means you can turn it into whatever type of battler you want. Picking Chimchar at the beginning is a solid move, when the end result is an Infernape.
