CQ Editorial
There is no shortage of opinions when it comes to top 20 pokemon do fighting type, but a handful of choices always rise to the top. This 20-strong selection covers the entries that we believe deserve a permanent spot in the conversation.
We split the list into clear sections so you can jump straight to the entries that interest you. Each pick comes with a short context note, and where available we include an image to help the choice land. The order is loose — treat it as a recommendation, not a strict ranking.
1. Machamp
Machamp earns its spot through a mix of personality and practical strength. Beyond the headline appeal, Machamp carries practical value that pays off across long sessions. It is the kind of pick that gets better the more time you spend with it.
Long-time fans will not be surprised to see it here, and newcomers will quickly understand why.
2. Pangoro
Pangoro occupies a place on this list because the community keeps coming back to it. Casual players love Pangoro for the immediate satisfaction, while min-maxers respect it for the math. Either way, it earns its place comfortably.
If you only try one new entry from this list this week, this is a safe starting point.
3. Sirfetch’d
Skipping Sirfetch’d would be a mistake — it remains a fan favorite for solid reasons. Sift through the discussion threads and you will find broad agreement that Sirfetch’d occupies a special place. The reasons differ — playstyle, aesthetics, raw performance — but the conclusion lands the same way.
