Electric/Fighting strategy: physical pressure with three direct weaknesses
Electric/Fighting and Fighting/Electric are the same defensive pairing; this page uses electric-fighting as the canonical URL. Electric/Fighting pressures Water, Flying, Normal, Rock, Dark, Ice, and Steel targets with a compact but active offensive profile. Representative Pokémon include Pawmo, Pawmot, Iron Hands. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Ground, Psychic, Fairy. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from no ¼× resistance; ½× resists Electric, Bug, Rock, Dark, Steel, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Electric STAB threatens Water and Flying targets, while Fighting STAB breaks Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel targets. Ground, Psychic, and Fairy are the chart weaknesses, and there is no 4× weakness. The typing works best when it can use bulk, priority, or pivot support to choose favorable trades.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Electric/Fighting, start with the chart pressure: Ground, Psychic, Fairy. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Electric/Fighting wants Ground, Psychic, and Fairy answers. Flying, Steel, Dark, Poison, and Ground-immune partners can cover those lanes while Electric/Fighting pressures bulky Water and Steel cores. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Ground, Psychic problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
