The Pokeddexy challenge: My favourite Fighting type?

In the beginning, there was the fighting type, one of the most reliable anti-Rock and anti-Normal/Snorlax types in the game, giving them a valuable niche in the metagame. However, due to the infamous power of the Psychic type in Red and Blue, Fighting types weren't entirely useful. This all changed in Gold and Silver. In Gold and Silver fighting types rose from the ashes left from Gen I to take down the pesky new Dark and Steel types. However, they were still hard strapped for coverage, since pretty much every Fighting type was physically based. Generation IV was a blessing in disguise for a lot of Fighting types, old and new, with the Physical/Special split of moves, giving a lot of Fighting types some much needed coverage in the elemental punches (Ice, Fire and Thunderpunch). In Generation V (Black/White and Black/White 2) they received Superpower from a move tutor if they didn't get it already. Gen VI (X and Y) did more bad than good to a lot of Fighting types thanks to the new Fairy type. In saying all of this, which is my favourite?

Who else than the famous Gallade? Gallade is interesting in having a Psychic/Fighting type, giving him some key resistances such as 2x resistances in Fighting and Rock types, making him take less damage from the infamous Stealth Rock. It only has two weaknesses in Flying and the new Fairy type, meaning it can switch in easily enough. With a pretty varied movepool Gallade can almost always cover his counters with moves such as Leaf Blade, Night Slash, Close Combat and Psycho Cut. He also looks like a complete badass, having blades for arms and a head the looks like it has a blade on it. His shiny is exactly the same as Gardevoir in tone as well (fitting since they both come from Ralts) and has an amazing Attack stat, anything that doesn't resist it is going to be hit hard. All of these reasons combined make Gallade my favourite Fighting type.
