Donphan ex is this deck's main attacker. It can attack and deal 50 damage for only one Energy as soon as it evolves. It can increase its damage by having more Energy attached, as well as having other cards such as Lucario and Red to support it.
Hitmonlee can be used as an early-game attacker if the player doesn't have Phanpy in their starting hand. Meanwhile, Marshadow functions as an effective secondary attacker after one of the player's other Pokemon has been knocked out.

List of All Fighting Type Pokemon Cards
PTCGP Fighting Pokemon Deck Strategy
Strategy Focuses on Early Game Damage
A common theme for Fighting Type Cards is that they can deal heavy damage while using less energy, making them good early game damage dealers. This makes them good at putting pressure at the start and disrupting opponent's builds.
The best strategy is to set up quick to build cards like Hitmonlee and Marshadow to maximize on early game damage while building your heavy hitters at the bench.
