Hitmonlee is a special fighting Pokémon introduced in the first generation fighting games. Having no evolution line at first, during the second generation games it was discovered that both Hitmonlee and its rival Hitmonchan (as well as new Pokémon Hitmontop) were alternate evolutions of the baby form Tyrogue.
Information
Hitmonlee is one of the three potential evolution paths that Tyrogue undergoes upon reaching Level 20. Tyrogue will evolve into Hitmonlee if its Attack is higher than its Defense, thus indicating that Hitmonlee is the physically strongest of the three Hitmon Pokémon.
It specializes in kicking moves, to the point where some call it "the kicking master". It can repeatedly kick enemies with its springy legs that can freely stretch and contract to double length, allowing it to hit faraway enemies. It can execute every known kick and can kick in succession from any position due to its amazing sense of position. By kicking repeatedly, it will eventually stretch both legs to strike a fleeing foe with the Double Kick move.
The sole of its foot hardens to diamond thickness upon impact, which destroys foes. After battle, it rubs down its legs and loosens its muscles to ease off its fatigue. Its legs also lengthen when it is in a hurry, allowing it to run smoothly with extra long, jumping strides.
