Why does nobody use fighting type decks
any fighting type enthusiasts? My first EX was fighting

I prefer to use my fighting deck, but as it has a tendency to rely on RNG I tend to only use it for Solo missions! In saying so though, matching against fighting types in online battles are my pet peeve.
I’m sure as the game progresses and more cards become available there will be a wider range of balance and we’ll see a lot more decks competitively.0 -
Yes, Fighting needs better Pokemon and supporters… so do Metal and Dragon tyes.
This current set favours more Water, Lightning, Grass and Fire types, those have the better supporters and also stronger Pokemon overall.

The type is weak to one of the most powerful decks in the format and is reliant on RNG. In any competitive card game that is a recipe for failure.
Furthermore, while there are some favourites among the fighting types, nothing is on the level of Mewtwo, Charizard or Pikachu, so even those building casual decks are less likely to be fans of anything in it.
Everything is against fighting types.

The problem isn't type advantage balances. This game isn't that complex balance-wise yet.
Fighting doesn't have a god-deck yet. This community is over 50% the same 4 decks, nearly identical to one another. Fighting isn't one of the four, so it isn't used. The other 50% of players (the losers in every match) DO use fighting types. I love em, personally. But without any obvious god-builds, it'll just die to mewtwo/gardy and othe legendary spammers.
Use primeape and pray for rng wins on turn 3 lol.0 -
I actually ran across several fighting decks today. I had built one a few days ago, just because of the lack of fighting decks that i had seen. Then I figured i would give my deck a whorl today and like i said i ran across about 5 matches were i faced off against another fighting deck.
