In this tier list, you will learn about the best Fighting-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A that you should consider using on your team.
Fighting-types have always been a typing worth putting on your Pokemon team. Especially since they are one of three weaknesses to the defensive Steel-type (besides Fire and Ground). So in this article we will look at the best Fighting-types for you to consider using on your Pokemon Legends Z-A team.
Disclaimer: We will be looking at fully evolved Pokemon in the rankings as they are the ones that are usually the strongest. Additionally if the Pokemon can Mega Evolve that will also be taken into account. Finally, there are some Pokemon that gain the Fighting-type after Mega Evolving so they will be ranked as well.
All Fighting-Type Pokemon in Legends Z-A Tier List
Here is the complete tier list for all Fighting-type Pokemon in-game:
| Tier | Pokemon |
|---|---|
| S-Tier | Lucario, Chesnaught, and Heracross |
| A-Tier | Gallade, Lopunny*, Barbaracle*, and Hawlucha |
| B-Tier | Emboar and Scrafty |
| C-Tier | Pangoro, Medicham, Machamp, and Falinks |
S-Tier
These are the best Fighting-types in Pokemon Legends Z-A, with each of them earning a spot on your team:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Lucario | BST (Base Stat Total): 525. Mega Lucario is an amazing mixed attacker. It has a wide movepool which it can utilize well making it an unpredictable threat. |
| Chesnaught | BST: 530. Even with a 4x weakness to Flying, Mega Chesnaught has extremely high Defense making it an amazing physical wall. |
| Heracross | BST: 500. Another powerful physical attacker that hits extremely hard. The absence of its Ability Skill Link is not an issue given how multi-hit moves work in this game. |
A-Tier
These Pokemon have some flaws but could be considered for a spot on your team with a little support:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Gallade | BST: 518. Mega Gallade’s has well rounded stats as well as a high Attack stat. It also has decent coverage moves like Night Slash for Ghost-types |
| Lopunny | BST: 480. Upon Mega Evolution, Lopunny gets an added Fighting-type. Sadly it does not have its Ability Scrappy to hit Ghost-types with its STABs. |
| Barbaracle | BST: 500. Rock/Fighting is a deceptively great STAB combo. However, Mega Barbaracle may struggle to outspeed its opponents. |
| Hawlucha | BST: 500. Mega Hawlucha has a nice dual typing and access to decent STAB moves. However, without an Ability, it stats might not make it worth Mega Evolving. |
B-Tier
These Pokemon have quite a few flaws but can be used of the team is built around supporting them:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Emboar | BST: 528. Mega Emboar has decent Attack and special bulk. Its low movement Speed and physical defense may make it susceptible to being taken out quickly. |
| Scrafty | BST: 488. Gets decent bulk and a respectable Attack stat after Mega Evolving. However, it is slow and a 4x weakness to Fairy-types is not helping it. |
C-Tier
These Pokemon are not necessarily terrible but are just outclassed by the others:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Pangoro | BST: 495. Outclassed by every Pokemon before this tier with a Mega Evolution. Also has a 4x weakness to Fairy. |
| Medicham | BST: 410. Loses the Attack boost from its Ability Pure Power. Despite get a small boost to its Attack, it is not worth using. |
| Machamp | BST: 505. Just like Pangoro, Machamp is outclassed by every other Mega Evolving Fighting-type Pokemon. |
| Falinks | BST: 470. Despite being one of the more creative new Mega Evolutions, Mega Falinks’ stats leave it outclassed by other Megas |
