Ice/Fighting strategy: broad offense with six 2× weaknesses
Ice/Fighting and Fighting/Ice are the same defensive pairing; this page uses ice-fighting as the canonical URL. Ice/Fighting pressures Dragon, Flying, Grass, Ground, Normal, Rock, Steel, Dark, and Ice targets with a very demanding defensive chart. Representative Pokémon include Crabominable. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, Fairy. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from no ¼× resistance; ½× resists Ice, Bug, Dark, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Ice STAB threatens Dragon, Flying, Grass, and Ground targets, while Fighting STAB breaks Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel targets. Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy all hit for 2×, so the typing must focus on offensive value. It needs support to enter safely before using its coverage.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Ice/Fighting, start with the chart pressure: Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, 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
Ice/Fighting needs Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy answers. Water, Steel, Ghost, Poison, and Fire-resistant partners can cover different parts of that spread. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Fire, Fighting problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
