I used to dislike fighting as a type, since I'm not too fond of humanoids in 'mon design, but they've been growing on me lately. I guess it's because they're the clear "good guy" type, you can view most Pokemon as animals but fighting types show a distinct personality that is either upright and reliable or the "acts like a ruffian but will save you when the chips are down" type.
I mean, Conkeldurr may be a horrifying muscle clown, but it's also the one monster that you can trust completely to babysit your kids while you're away or save a complete stranger from being mugged. Its species also literally invented concrete before humans, and Pokemon world probably has incidents where one of them saves hundreds of lives by identifying a building that was about to collapse and evacuating everyone in time.
