Taking only a quarter of the damage from Fighting type attacks, Hatterene is a powerful Psychic and Fairy Pokemon with a great toolkit.

With access to a range of devastating Psychic and Fairy moves Hatterene is a menace to Fighting type Pokemon, lacking only in Flying type moves.

Hatterene even gets an intimidating Gigantamax Form! This is a Fairy type Pokémon with a whole lot of utility!

Mewtwo

Mewtwo's power speaks for itself. This pure Psychic type Pokemon is one of the best counters for Fighting type Pokemon thanks to its great type and monstrous stats!

With its simple yet iconic design Mewtwo has always been a fan favorite, and it's easy to see why it's such a standout star.

Mewtwo is a powerful enough Pokemon on its own, with a great moveset, but it gets two exclusive Mega Evolutions to boost its power even further!

Mewtwo has a lot of great Psychic type attacks, but its movepool isn't quite as flexible as some other Pokemon. But Mewtwo is a strong Pokemon and as it only takes half damage from Fighting Pokemon, is a great choice to use against Fighting Pokémon!

Mewtwo also features on this list of the best cat Pokemon!

Flutter Mane

Flutter Mane is a past Paradox Pokemon with a ridiculously high Special Attack stat! Flutter Mane is one of the best Fairy types for fighting against Fighting types because of its secondary type, Ghost.

Alolan Raichu

A regional variant form of Raichu, Alolan Raichu is part Psychic type! This plucky little rodent gets access to some powerful new attacks like Psychic in addition to a wide and flexible movepool.

Alolan Raichu can use varied types of attack, from Water type Surf to Fairy Play Rough, and even Fighting and Dark type moves!
