Are there any defensive Fighting types out there, or any defensive sets for any fighting types?

Bonus question; any reason to run a Greninja with Mat Block?

Scrafty and Hitmontop I guess, stuff like Bulk Up Gallade might work too.

Never realized it before but man that's a badly designed Pokémon.

Hitmontop might be your best bet w/ Intimidate. Try and have some fun with Counter on it too. I think it gets Knock Off.

Also Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Toxicroak in the rain.

Throh is pretty bulky, but it relies on flame orb for damage and is slow

Mat Block Greninja is all right in doubles.

There are pokes like Cobalion or Hitmontop who have their own niches as defensive pokes, but they still like to inflict some damage on the opponent with STAB Close Combat. There's Chesnaught too, I guess, whose typing works for a defensive pokemon, but they're all subpar. They need tiers to work properly, as they can't keep up with all the strong shit that's roaming around at the moment.

Bulk Up and Assault Vest Conkeldurr are legit

Use Assault Vest Conkeldurr. It's the best bulky Fighting-type in the game, without a doubt.

Mat Block is ok for Doubles, but never, ever use it in singles.

OP here; Luckily I already use Conkeldurr so it's great that it can pull off varied movesets. I usually run a Sheer force style set but I prefer defensive play.
