Fighting/Dragon strategy: Fairy 4× pressure with broad offense
Fighting/Dragon and Dragon/Fighting are the same defensive pairing; this page uses fighting-dragon as the canonical URL. Fighting/Dragon pressures Normal, Rock, Steel, Dark, Ice, and Dragon targets but must respect Fairy more than anything else. Representative Pokémon include Hakamo-o, Kommo-o, Koraidon. The standard type chart gives this combination 4× weak to Fairy and 2× weak to Ice, Flying, Psychic, Dragon. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from no ¼× resistance; ½× resists Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Bug, Rock, Dark, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Fighting STAB breaks Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel targets, while Dragon STAB supplies broad neutral pressure and threatens Dragons. Fairy is the severe 4× weakness, while Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Dragon hit for 2×. The typing needs Fairy control before it can use its offensive profile safely.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Fighting/Dragon, start with the chart pressure: Fairy, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Dragon. 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
Fighting/Dragon needs Fairy answers first, then Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Dragon support. Steel, Poison, Fire, and Fairy partners can cover those lanes while Fighting/Dragon pressures Steel and Dark cores. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Fairy, Ice problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
