>>37232697>if we give them a powerful move, rock types or special fighting types will dominate the competitive scenario.There is one Rock-type in OU (Tyranitar) and one in UUBL (Mega Diancie, who is there despite having a powerful Rock-type move with good accuracy and a fantastic secondary effect)
There are exactly two Fighting-types with higher Special Attack than Attack. Both of them have Special Fighting-type moves with 100 or better accuracy: vanilla Lucario has Aura Sphere (duh) and Keldeo has Secret Sword.
So unless we're really scared of a Pokemon with seven weaknesses, no recovery, and 61 base Speed dethroning Landorus-T in [current year], there's no reason to hold off on giving Rock a strong, accurate physical STAB (and Fighting already has the tools it needs/wants).
>>37232711>how about some regular attacks that won't missNothing would run it over Close Combat unless it was a better Drain Punch or something super super niche like a 25 BP Arm Thrust for Mega Heracross. We can do things like buff Brick Break to match Psychic Fang's 85 BP for the same effect, or widen the distribution of Sacred Sword, but Close Combat is just so fucking good that there's really no point in giving Fighting anything else.
>And don't get me started on the lack of special fighting attacksAgain, there's as many strong and reliable Special Fighting moves as there are Fighting-type pure Special Attackers. It's literally Physical: The Type. Having Special Fighting in the same boat as Physical Psychic when it comes to moves is honestly fitting, and even then the mere existence of Focus Blast (and Vacuum Wave, sorta) makes Special Fighting much better than Physical Psychic on that front.
