All of the Pokémon types have some weird residents, and the brawny and powerful Fighting-type is no different. Dominated by boxers, martial artists, wrestlers, and other designs based on fighting sports, the Fighting-type is known for powerhouses of physical prowess, quick, powerful attacks, and a ton of muscular Pokémon.

But, despite being the type that most closely resembles humans in many cases, the Fighting-type has as many weird quirks as the other 17 types. Here are some of the strangest and most little-known bits of trivia about the Fighting-type.

10 Mankey’s Size

Mankey is one of the original Fighting-type Pokémon, introduced with its evolution, Primeape, alongside only a few others in Generation I — the Machop line, Poliwrath, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan. It resembles a baboon or other type of primate with elements of pigs.

What’s interesting about Mankey is that it’s tiny — much tinier than many realize. Mankey stands at 1'08" (50 cm), just over a foot tall. That means it probably isn’t as fierce or scary as its typing and design would suggest.

9 Bewear

On the other end of the spectrum from Mankey’s small stature is Bewear, a hulking behemoth that has a terrifying ability. This Normal/Fighting-type from Generation VII may look cute and cuddly, but it’s a murderous monster that won’t hesitate to end your life.

Standing at 6'11" (2.1m), Bewear is a huge beast that frequently kills people by hugging them. The Pokédex states such horrors as “it could easily shatter your bones,” and “life is over for anyone who doesn’t run away.” Most horrifyingly, it states that “many trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug.”

8 Crabominable’s Projectile Pincers

Also introduced in Generation VII alongside the terrifying Bewear is Crabominable, an Ice/Fighting-type crab that evolves from Crabrawler. This scary-looking guy has two giant fists at the end of its arms that look like they could punch holes through steel.

What’s weird about Crabominable is that it can apparently fire these fists off like torpedos. The Pokédex states that in times of desperation, it can “lop off its own pincers and fire them like rockets.” Imagine a giant fist flying at you. Also, do they grow back? Or, is that Crabominable just hand-less permanently?

7 Fighting-type’s Relationship To Bug-type

The Bug-type, which also has its fair share of weirdos, has long had a weird relationship with the Fighting-type. Both are weak to Flying, while having an opposite relationship with Psychic.

But, what’s unique about the relationship between Fighting and Bug is that they are the only two different types that resist one another. Nowhere else in the dozens and dozens of combinations between two types does this occur.

6 Strange Choices

Speaking of Bug-types and Fighting-types, why is Heracross Fighting-type? Sure, its giant horn looks like it’ll pack quite the punch, but having a large horn doesn’t make Bouffalant or Rhydon Fighting-type.

The point here is that there are a lot of Fighting-types that don’t really make sense. Other examples include Marshadow, Gallade, Scraggy, and some others. Sure, they have elements to their designs or Pokédex entries that might explain it, but it’s not as clear as some other types. Also, an age-old question is why Heracross is Fighting-type but Pinsir is not. Strange.

5 Blaziken/Latias Hybrid

Every generation has a ton of unused designs that occasionally leak to the public. The Gold & Silver beta leaks are some of the most prominent examples of this, with a ton of Pokémon that were either altered before release or scrapped entirely.

This happened with everyone’s favorite Fire/Fighting-type starter, Blaziken. It’s unclear if it was meant to be Blaziken or Latias eventually, but there’s a strange hybrid of the two in early concept art for the Generation III games.

4 Generation VII

Almost every type has new moves introduced in each generation, rounding out their movepools significantly, sometimes with new gimmicks and other times with powerful options for Pokémon of that type.

It’s interesting, then, that Generation VII introduced basically no new Fighting-type moves for the average Pokémon to use, despite having quite a few interesting Fighting-type Pokémon introduced. Only the Z-Move All-Out Pummeling was introduced. There were no other Fighting-moves introduced, even for Fighting-types that received signature moves (Marshadow and Kommo-o, for example).

3 Flying Press

Speaking of unique Fighting-type moves, Flying Press has always been a weird one. This move, which is commonly associated with Hawlucha, is both a Flying-type move and a Fighting-type move, simultaneously.

This move is registered as a Fighting-type move, but it deals damage in a combination of Fighting and Flying. In most cases, it acts as a Fighting-type move, but if it’s used against something weak to Flying, it will calculate its damage based on that. It’s actually a pretty good move, too.

2 Primeape’s Lethal Anger

Mankey made an appearance on this list earlier, but its evolution, Primeape, also belongs here. Both are seemingly pretty strange Pokémon. Primeape is much stranger than Mankey, however, because it’s more than just a weird size.

According to its lore both in the Pokédex and in other references, Primeape gets so angry that it literally dies. It’s stated that it can “become so angry that it dies as a result.” Primeape is also known to get so angry that it will chase a target until the end of the world.

1 Clothing

There are a few different Pokémon that are seemingly wearing human clothing, including some that aren’t Fighting-type, like Jynx. But, the majority of “clothed” Pokémon seem to be Fighting-type. There’s Hitmonchan with its tunic and kilt, Machoke and Machamp’s speedo, and Sawk and Throh each wearing a karate gi.

The mystery lies in whether these clothes are part of their body or actual clothing. If it’s the former, why does it resemble human clothing? And if it’s the latter, where do they find this clothing, and how are they born wearing it, fresh from the egg? Apparently Machamp’s “underwear” is just its skin, while Throh weaves its belt from vines. However, this doesn’t begin to explain all the different clothing Fighting-types wear and where it comes from.
