Why are there no "normal" Fighting Type moves?

Question

Why are there so no physical fighting type move that are like, "normal" eighty power physical move? (Excluding Body Press because it uses defense stat and that isn't normal) There is Aura Sphere but it's special and barely any fighting type mons are special.

Comments

Might have something to do with how well Fighting does in offensive coverage as a type. To put in a move for that kind of value might be a little narrowing to the potential that all the other moves have.

What do you mean? Are you asking why a fighting type move named "Normal" dosen't exist?

---

No, I mean there are no moves that are average power, like 80 that many fighting types can learn and is very common

---

Ok then!

---

Yeah, like one people might use a lot for coverage, or just a good fighting type move

Why it was hidden?

---

Game Freak logic

---

Weird how ice rock and steel types are usually physically bulky and fighting type move are physical

---

hidden?

---

Yeah, the post of X was hidden.

I hid it because Dragapult said he didn't like Game Freak logic as an answer.

I see!

Answer 1

It could be because of the fact that the fighting type is "strong". Superpower, close combat, focus blast, focus punch, high jump kick, Meteor assault, etc. Then on the other hand, a weak fighter essentially is nothing, it cant help much: Karate chop, brick break, rock smash, etc. There isn't much of an in between, and so there aren't very many in between 80 power moves. Oh, and I wanna add, submission can be learned by a decent amount of Pokemon, but it has 80 accuracy and has recoil, so its like worse than power-up-punch
