Hey loyal Pokejunglers!
So, before I begin, I wanna inform you guys of two new events that will take place in Pokemon Black & White via Wi-fi!
- The Pokemon Kumashun will be given away via Wi-fi from October 22, 2010 to November 29th, 2010. There’s nothing special about this Kumashun at all. (ozy’s note: I guess the reason they’re giving this away is because it’s kinda rare unless it’s winter? That being said, by the time this event is half-way done, it will be winter in the games…>.>)
- The second is actually a code that you will get via the Global Link from October 20th, 2010 until November 19th, 2010. The code will unlock a Croagunk with the special ability Poison Hand.
Now that that’s out of the way, on to the Fighting-types of Gen V!
[spoiler]
To start off the Fighting-types for this generation we have the Brawny Pokemon, #532 Dokkora, #533 Dotekkotsu and #534 Roopushin! To describe this evolution line in one word: STRONG. Two words: HELLA STRONG. These guys were made for battling and they will kick major ass. Their stats it total proof of that. Starting out with an Attack base stat of 85 and a HP of 75 Dokkora could definitely single handily take out the entire first few gyms for you. Once evolving at lvl. 25 into Dotekkotsu its Attack HP and Defense get a boost, making them clock in at 105, 85 and 85 respectively. Then, once you trade Dotekkotsu it will evolve into Roopushin, and here, ladies and gentlemen, is where this evolution line’s true power is revealed. Roopushin gets crazy boosts in all of the previously mentioned stat groups making them 95 (Defense), 105 (HP) and, are you ready? 145 friggin’ base Attack!! That is hella power! It could probably take out an entire army if it needed to! It’s design surely could scare it away! I’m not saying any of them are ugly, because they really aren’t, they’re just big and muscular and have a clown nose. I just find it to be a weird combination. But I definitely can’t complain! I mean along with its power, all of them have awesome animation! Dokkora flings his wooden plank in the air and then catches it, Dotekkotsu readies his iron bar to fling at the opponent Pokemon, and Roopushin just picks up those cinder blocks and wringles them around like they were nothing! This evolution line is by far the best in stats out of all the Fighting-types in Gen V. By far. So, if you’re convinced that you want one, listen up. Dokkora can be found in Yagaruma Forest and the Freezer Container, while Dotekkotsu can only be found in the Ridge. Roopushin, unfortunately can only be obtained if you evolve it from Dotekkotsu. I would definitely recommend this Pokemon to anyone. You can get the first stage so early on, so why not? It’s strong in the beginning and even stronger at the end. So go! Go now and catch it!
Next in line we have the Judo Pokemon, #538 Nageki! Let’s start with its design. I, personally, don’t really like it all much. I don’t find it ugly, I just find it unattractive compared to Dageki. Nageki’s design has a mix of everything that I just don’t like. It’s red, it’s really short and hat and it has a crazy caterpillar eyebrow. Whereas i prefer blue, skinny and well normal eyebrows. Despite that, I do still like this Pokemon overall, and that’s because of it’s awesome stats. It has an amazing HP base stat of 120, a killer Attack stat of 100, and awesome Special Defense and Defense. Both clocking in at 85. But, unfortunately, with so much power, it also has to have a weakness. And in this case, it’s Nageki’s Speed, which has a base of 45. So, if you’ve fallen in love with Nageki, you can find one on Routes 10, 16, and 18. As well as right outside of Yagaruma Forest. Despite my hatred of its design, I really could just overlook it an put it on my team. With an awesome Defense, Attack and HP, and not to mention how early you can get it in the game, Nageki would definitely make an excellent addition to your team.
Next, we have Nageki’s long lost brother, the Karate Pokemon, #539 Dageki! The routes you can find it on are Route 10, 16, 18 and you can also find it right outside Yagaruma Forest, just like Nageki. Dageki, in a sense, is the opposite of Nageki when it comes to stats. While Nageki’s stats lean more towards the Defense side, Dageki is all about the offensive side. This guy has a whopping base Attack of 125 and a fairly decent Speed of 85. While all of his other base stats (Except Special Defense, which is a 35) have the solid base stat of 75. Between these two karate twins, I definitely like Dageki by far. And not because Nageki is ugly, It’s just that I prefer blue and skinny more than I do red and fat. That being said, I also really like this guy’s animation, it’s like as if Dageki is roaring up for an attack! So awesome! I can’t really complain about this Pokemon’s design as everything is just perfect. They hit the body shape just right, the colour next to the karate outfit is stunning, and like I said, the animation is just great. Only thing I could maybe bother Game Freak about is it’s eyebrow. It’s really unnoticeable, but after seeing a bunch of these throughout my play through, I couldn’t help but look and wonder why he only has half of an eyebrow. Since the Dageki and Nageki are version exclusives I feel like it’s pretty important to compare the two. I’ll keep this really simple, and remember, this is based solely on my opinion: Design: Dageki>Nageki Stats: Nageki>Dageki Considering how early on you can catch it and how crazy his attack stat is, this guy would be a power house on your team! And also, a bit of a hint: If you’re having trouble with Aloe, go to the outskirts of the forest and catch one of these. Not only will you gain a kick ass fighting-type, but you’ll also beat Aloe easily.
Finally, we have my favourite Fighting-types of Gen V, the Martial Arts Pokemon, #619 Kojofu and #620 Kojondo! These two are most definitely in my top 5 favourite Fighting-types! They both have this elegant and kick ass feel to them. Well at least Kojondo does. Kojofu is just plain adorable. Whenever I play a fighting video game I always pick the sexy girl, ‘cause they’re usually the fastest, the strongest and well the sexiest. When looking at my these two I get that same feeling as I would playing Street Fighter and seeing that sexy strong girl for the same time. They’re basically the same in my mind. Basically, take a sexy elegant fighter chick, take away the sex appeal and you get these gals. Not only are they easy on the eyes, they’re pretty strong. Kojufu’s highlights include a decent Attack of 85 and an ok Speed of 65. That’s pretty average for the time you can encounter this Pokemon. But, once it evolves at lvl. 50 into Kojondo, it gets hella powerful! Kojondo has the amazing Attack stat of 125, a pretty awesome Special Attack of 95 and a crazy speed of 105! Killer right? Only thing that sucks for both of these Pokemon is that they really lack in all the other departments. In comparison to Kojondo’s killer highlight’s the rest of its stats are in the 60’s. If you’re all about a Pokemon having a high HP, not a problem. Although Kojondo and Kojofu both have relatively low HP stats, they also have the awesome ability of Regeneration! Which, in case you don’t know, restores HP once switched out. So you really wouldn’t notice it’s weaknesses at all. Did I mention that it has base stat of 125? Only thing that I absolutely hate about this Pokemon is how late you find it. Kojofu can be found in the Dragon Spiral Tower, Victory Road, and Route 14. Kojondo can also be found on Route 14, but it’s pretty rare. I think this is one of those Pokemon where Game Freak hit a homerun, not only is it a beautiful Pokemon, but it’s also damn useful in the long run.
Pokemon with a secondary Fighting-type:
[/spoiler]
Thus concluding the Fighting-type article. Remember we categorize by primary typing so you won’t have any article on Pokemon such as Zuruggu who is Dark/Fighting. SO now that you’ve read this, I want you to yoice your opinion! Do you agree with me? Maybe Disagree? Do you think I was to nice to a Pokemon? To harsh? Comment down below!
peace and love– ozymandis
P.S. You guys probably noticed that I added a small section for Pokemon that have a secondary Fighting-type. Do you guys like it and think I should keep it? Or do you think I should scrap the idea?

Stop posting comments that have nothing to do with the article! I don’t care if you are bored and you think your replies are funny, they aren’t! It is annoying and doesn’t bring anything constructive at all!
It isn’t impressive that you are the top poster when every single one of your replies are random stuff that don’t mean anything.
And if you feel like answering back to me, do it in a single reply! Or even better, by Email, so that the other readers will be spared of your useless comments.
Why do ppl like tsutaja fan care so much about natures and evs? I treat in game pokemon like more than bits of data….I actually feel bad when i have one i never use and when i release it! And Spencer you can press the Reply button under ppls comments instead of randomly creating a new comment about something from a while ago
because if you play competitively, you HAVE to care about natures and EVs?
No matter how much you care for your little piece of data, if it isnt EV trained, its stats are all over the place instead of right where they belong.
For example, You have an Alakazam. You leveled him up to level 100 by fighting Machops and Machokes, which yield Attack Effort Values. That is all that you fought, so Alakazam has maxed out Attack EVs but no Special Attack EVs. He will do VERY little damage compared to someone who leveled their Alakazam against Pokemon that yield Spc.Atk. Effort Values.
But if you would rather play your game like the loser that is Ash Ketchum then by all means use your little precious Pikachu (who you have been through everything with) who unsurprisingly dies against a lvl 5 Tsutarja.
i dont always care about evs and natures,but i preffer them,and,i use each of my pokes at least once
Dont hate Im just sayin 🙂
I have a level 100 Mime Jr…bcuz he is adorable
I really never liked the idea of Ev training but it started to grow on me when i maxed out my Infernape’s Speed, Attack and Special Attack and he started doing way better in wifi battles than before. It actually is a good idea to EV train so that if ur someone like me who only likes battling strong ppl and not wannabes then u probably got some kickass strategies coming your way
Umm you can’t max out three categories. It’s impossible. Just sayin.
lol i just trolled Serebii’s chat

Im “Lyle” on there lol
Might not be funny if you arent familiar with the I accidentally the whole thing Meme….. But if you arent then what are you doing on the internet? xD
Ha, nice stuff there. Its always nice to see some lesser known meme’s get some represen’tashun! (well, lesser known in my experience)
One of my personal favourite memes. 🙂
Tsutarja fan and spencerfellman should stfu.
ok,i need only 2 more pokes,kerudio(timid would be nice)and meloetta.i STILL need that ROCK HEAD BLUE STRIPE BASURAO!!!plz,someone help me get the basurao,i want it sooooo bad!!!and the others too
No one cares. SHUT UP!!!!!!!
*yawn*, where are they, i mean where the heck are the pjn team, i mean they haven’t updated the site for 4 DAYS IN A ROW, *lauches heat tracking with nets to all PJN staff to bring them back to the site*, smugleaf fan, YOU ARE GOING TO BE BEATEN UP BY OZY, FOR TAKING HIS #1 COMMENTATOR OF THE SITE DURING HIS ABSENCE, *wonders if ozy has joined the glee wikia*
They were obviously sent into a deep sleep by an unhappy Jigglypuff. 🙁
or they have lives :p
WHAT? Thats absurd…. why would they have lives?
We’re gonna update sooooooon
Can you please do either grass types or bug types next?
Has anyone else seen the Dream World art on Bulbapedia? Why dont they have all the pokes?
yes i saw it ,i was wondering the same thing
I thought of an english name for Daikenki. Anyone like it? :
Tsuleo (Tsunami + Leo *like lion* )
Cuz it’s based on a sea lion 😛
It’s shit..
As if little kids would remember such a name, and don’t get me started on all the mis-pronunciations :/
Also, I think I seemed waaaayyy to harsh 🙁 Sorry bout that, was in a narky mood..
What I meant was, it just doesn’t sound good, Tsuleo, it’s just weird :S
Sorry for any offence you take from my previous comment.
😛 I don’t really care…but still, it’s not like I’m being serious. Besides, it’s not the dumbest comment you’ve probably seen on here. I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets super bored sometimes and posts random shit. And also, if I WAS being serious, I could care less if some little kids could remember it, let alone pronounce it -__-“
most gay or dumb comments on here is by smugleaf fan
Oi.
Only rule of PJN: don’t use gay as an insult.
Some of these commentors make me want to smash my face against a brick wall.
Repeatedly.
Agreed -__-” Some people don’t know when to stop…or how to use the reply button.
Can you please put up another Focus On article!!!!!!!
working on one now. 🙂
what does that green spot north west of black city represent?
ps. i suggest that pjn could use the emails provided by commentors to warn them if they have a warning
Isn’t it the Poke shifter place?
Theres one on the very left top on the map. What that supposed to be?
You get to that using one of the lines of the battle subway, the brown one according to Serebii.
as pjn is a blog, i am wondering if pj has heard of paaaaaaaaaannnndddaaagggaaatttee, if you haven’t heard of it go to en.wikipedia.org and either type in andrew bolt or marieke hardy, because it has a lesson in blogging
ps.or talk to archaic about it
Yes i saw the Dream World art, they had no shadow rims.
