The best Max Battle tanks against Fighting-type attacks in Pokémon GO. Every available tank is ranked by how well it takes Fighting-type hits from Dynamax and Gigantamax bosses. Search eligible Pokémon and their recommended Fast Attacks, then compare tank scores and average HP lost per hit. The type here is the boss’s attack type, not your tank’s own type.

Incoming damage is half a spread hit and half a targeted hit. The targeted half averages the best and worst dodge reductions. Each hit is rounded on its own.
Score = 100 × Dynamax Blissey’s average HP loss % across all types ÷ this Pokémon’s HP loss % against the selected type
Ties go to the Pokémon that fills the Max Meter faster, then to the one with more Max Attack damage.
The benchmark boss takes the median stats of 29 available Tier 5 Dynamax and Tier 6 Gigantamax bosses whose encounter profiles are verified. Each boss counts once, with its encounter and damage multipliers already applied.
Dynamax Lugia is the best tank against Fighting-type attacks with the current settings. It scores 217.8 and loses 12% of its HP per hit on average against the benchmark boss. Dynamax Lugia has 310 base Defense and also resists Fighting-type attacks, so it takes 39.06% of neutral damage before other modifiers and rounding.
Other top tanks against Fighting-type boss attacks include Gigantamax Gengar, Dynamax Gengar, and Dynamax Gardevoir. Resistance to Fighting-type attacks helps Gigantamax Gengar, Dynamax Gengar, and Dynamax Gardevoir take less damage.
Use Extrasensory on Dynamax Lugia with the current settings. When two movesets are equally durable, the one that fills the Max Meter faster wins, then the one with more Max Attack damage. The Max Meter fills based on damage dealt and attack duration, and Charged Attack energy plays no part. An asterisk (*) marks a legacy Fast Attack.
