Welcome to the second annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament here in the Pokémon Polls board, where our goal is to determine the favorite Pokémon of the users here at the PokéCommunity! This will be a tournament that lasts several months, where we'll pit almost all the Pokémon from different types together to determine a winner. After we know the winner of each type, we'll add all of those Pokémon to a final poll, where the winner(s) will be crowned champion, and be known as PokéCommunity's favorite Pokémon!

If you haven't had the opportunity, please read the Rules/FAQ to find out more about the tournament:

I voted for Blaziken, Lucario, Toxicroak, Conkeldurr, and the Musketeers for this one.

I know that Blaziken and Lucario might be considered overrated by some, but I like them anyway. They're kinda cool and good in battle to boot. I particularly liked how the Lucario in X/Y wanted to join you.

I also like Toxicroak's design, and while Poison/Fighting has it's issues, it's not that bad. I like frogs a bit too.

Conkeldurr was a Pokemon I didn't care much for when Black/White first came out. Here was some ugly looking thing that was a bit of a pain to deal with in the games sometimes. But then I discovered Guts Ass Conkeldurr (uh, a Conkeldurr with Guts and Assault Vest) and came to really like the thing.

Threw in a vote for the Musketeers because Terrakion and Keldeo and great in competitive battles. I also still get a chuckle out of the thought of Vic Mignogna voicing Keldeo in the 15th Pokemon movie

Fighting-types are powerful and have the badass factor, and here's the ones I voted for:

Riolu line: Lucario is a fan fave, and I admit to it as well thanks to good coverage, balanced stats all around and one very powerful Mega that even deemed it uber-worthy.

Pancham line: We now have a proper panda Pokemon, and it makes one think Game Freak took inspirations from Kung Fu Panda when making it a Fighting-type. I used one in my first X playthrough and they can wreck pretty well on an in-game run.

Mienfoo line: I love this line's design concept, and Mienshao is very majestic which is usually not seen in a lot of Fighting Pokemon.

Scraggy line: The hoodlum concept made me fall in love with these things in an instant, and I used one during the postgame of my Black 2 playthrough before the save file sadly corrupted. Moxie is definitely what makes me enjoy using it because it can become a wrecker if gets a boost or two in.

Hawlucha: Fast and hits hard. I love the design and learns some pretty strong moves. Kinda sad the Flying Gem's non-existence in 6th Gen makes Unburden less impressive than it normally would, but it's still a cool Pokemon nonetheless.

Heracross: Another powerful attacker, and its Mega (albeit one that has a design I'm not that into) takes its usability to a new level.

Monferno / Infernape: Given I'm a fan of monkeys I was excited to use this fiery monkey in 4th Gen, and it's a really good mixed attacker that can perform a good number of sets on a team.

Breloom: This mushroom was one of my original team members in Ruby, and I even plan on using it again when the remakes come out but hey we'll see. Still one of my fave 3rd Gen Pokemon of all time, mainly because of how well it did for me in that playthrough.

Pignite / Emboar: I feel so sad for this piggy because of all the "ugly" comments directed at him. It's quite usable on especially in-game runs when trained right.

Gallade: Has a wide movepool, good offensive typing and now gets a Mega. I'm more of a Gardevoir person but Gallade does have his uses, and he does the job just as well as his counterpart.

Meditite line: Another 3rd Gen fave of mine, who was often overlooked until it gained a Mega and found competitive relevance again. Pure Power makes it hit like a truck with the many good physical moves it can carry.

I totally voted for Blaziken! Mega form rules! Plus, he was the original fire fight. ;)

Heracross got my vote for killing flying types like nothing!

Breloom gets my vote too for being the original grass fight.

Lucario for being an awesome special attacker, that is to say for a fighting type.

All the Swords of Justice because they are rad :)

Mienshao - one of my favorite pokemon, it almost always open my single battles.
Chesnaught - I choose Chespin as a starter and I didn't regret it at all!
Gallade - gallade was one of my favorite pokemon is generation 4. I prefer him way more than gardevoir.

Been looking forward to this one, Fighting's one of my fave types! :) I voted for Hitmonlee and Sawk :) I also like Cobalion but not a fan of all the Musketeers so didn't vote for them.


Hitmonlee I just love everything about and it's the first Pokémon I think of when Fighting is mentioned :) I love its design, cry, its kicks, everything :) Definitely one of the most useful Pokémon I've ever had :)


Sawk is hands down one of my favourite Pokémon from Generation V :) Using it in my first playthrough of Black made everything so much easier, especially when facing the likes of Lenora haha :)

I... um... don't really like any fighting types, hahaha.

I guess my vote goes to Pignite and Emboar, since I think Pignite's design is really funny (it's pretty much an egg with arms and legs) and as a result I really warmed up to the whole line. (HaHA warmed up... fire type... get it...? ugh.) A close second is the Mienshao line because they're really elegant-looking which is something pretty much every other fighting type lacks, so they stand out, but I did not like using them the one time I tried so I kind of resent them now. :(

I'm quite surprised Conkeldurr has only 1 vote. Voted for him, Infernape and the Musketeer trio since they are both quite useful competitively and look badass.

Wow I guess I really don't like many fighting type pokemon...
Breloom was my pick. Think he looks awesome and was fun to use back in ruby/sapphire. Definitely going to be using it again the remakes.
I also voted for Machop line. These guys have been lifesavers on a couple of playthroughs.

I choosed Blaziken just because of my old experince with having him in the team and having two attributs opens a spot for a other cute/useful pokemon.

Primeape line and Blaziken. I've used a lot from this type and I do like them, but not many really stand out to me.

Makuhita, Mienfoo, and Hawlucha.

Makuhita is a solid fighting type who continues Snorlax's legacy of overweight warriors. He made Sumo official in Pokemon, and introduced us to Arm Thrust.

Mienfoo gets my vote because she's an adorable weasel.

Hawlucha, luchador hawk!

All fighting types represent a real life form of combat, ranging from actual martial arts to various forms of wrestling. To my chagrin, I rarely use Fighting types, since I generally prefer elemental special attackers. I may have voted too early, but these three are generally my favorites in a field I rarely acknowledge.

It's been awhile, but this for ORAS I'm definitely getting a Makuhita/Hariyama. They're not the best of the fighting bunch, but they're still pretty cool. Always liked Heracross too, the Bug/Fighting is a pretty interesting combo, and access to Megahorn, Close Combat, etc., is pretty awesome.

Wow I managed to vote for only one here.

I do like fighting types, but Hawlucha would have to be my favorite out of them all. It's certainly grew on me since it was first announced and I just personally love its lucador design, and although I haven't used it yet I am looking very forward to doing so!

And although I didn't vote for it shout out to Heracross who would be my second favorite if I had to choose. Third being Breloom.

I voted Primeape, Blaziken, Medicham, Chesnaught, and Meinshao.


Primeape because he is a fluffy fur ball with a temper. What's not to love in his simple design?

Blaziken is beautiful rooster with white hair and flared red and yellow body suit.

Medicham is a perfect psychic/fighting concept, I love her grace and calmness.

Meinshao an amazing whip fighter with purple markings on its long wispy whiskers and tail.

Chesnaught is just so beastly looking, but the cute face remains intact. I love his spiky shell and beard...and the pink, green, white and brown palette.

I voted for Lucario and Gallade. Sinnoh represent! ^^

I usually don't like fighting types because they're so muscley. Lucario is my favorite fighting type because... Aura Sphere! Yes, just in-time for the physical/special split. Lucario doesn't have to rely on overpowering his opponents with pure brawn, but rather has the really cool ability to sense aura, and use it as a weapon. I like the idea of a fighting-type launching qi balls, such as Aura Sphere or Focus Blast, similar to those seen in many action anime. At his release, Lucario was the very first fighting-type to have a Special Attack higher than his Physical, (although now Keldeo and Lucario both share this distinction.) I've proudly use the Special set since 4th gen, even though many prefered the physical set When Mega Lucario was first announced, the official site only mentioned it receiving a Physical Attack increase which worried me... yet ironically, despite now having a slightly-higher Physical Attack, its Mega Evolution ended up abusing its special set in OU more effectively. Mega Lucario is also one of my favorite mega evolutions. ^_^

Gallade because he's green, and a super cool swordsman! And his mega evolution... DAT CAPE. I love the cape! I squealed so much when I saw the cape. >.< And he's just soooo cool! 'Nuff said.

I considered voting for Breloom, because I really like Shroomish, grass types, and green. He's another fighting type whose also very lean and non-muscular, wheraes in Type Wild he uses super stretchy arms for punches. But I like the other 2 sooo much more that I decided not to vote for him. Hope we can still be friends, Breloom. :(

Fighting is one of my favourite types so it's really hard to choose.
It was hard to stop myself voting for nearly all of them.

Highlighting a few that really stand out though

Lucario - Lucario is my number one favourite pokemon. It's got a fantastic design, was portrayed excellently in all anime appearances, is very useful in battle (in game and competitively) and possesses a great move pool and has my favourite mega-evolution design to boot.

Infernape - Infernape would be my favourite fire-type starter if it wasn't for Charizard. Whilst it is competitively outclassed by both Blaziken and the aforementioned lizard it's a great mixed sweeper with a pretty good movepool and I absolutely love its design.

Hitmonlee - There's just something about this guy's design that makes him stand out to me above the other hitmon's. I prefer his stat spread over them too.

Machamp is my most favorite fighting-type out there, to be honest. Its appearance is very suitable for a Pokémon like this, if you ask me, and when it comes to battling, it performs amazingly well, even though it's weak against psychic and flying (which are two, very common types in competitive scene, as far as I'm concerned).

Machamp's got access to an ability called No Guard, which allows it to take good advantage of a variety of moves that it has access to, with one being Dynamic Punch. This attack's accuracy is pretty low, but No Guard makes sure that it lands its hit no matter what. Once it does, the attack will leave opponent confused, taking away much of their chance of striking hits. Machamp is very fun to utilize, all-in-all.

Alongside, I'm also a fan of Chesnaught, mostly because of a tank it's able to make. Another of my favorites is Toxicroak.

Fighting types... sure it's a great type in battles, but not a favorite of mine.

I vote for Blaziken and Lucario just because they're awesome battlers.
The four Musketeers because damn, they're just that cool.
And Mienshao because it's my all time favorite fighting type and it's a graceful weasel how can you not love it?
