Tyrogue is a baby Pokémon that can evolve into one of three Pokémon depending on its stats: Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop.

Information

Despite its youth and small size, Tyrogue is a powerful fighter known for its determination and fierce competitive spirit. Tyrogue are willing to challenge any opponent, and keeps on fighting even if it is defeated. Because of this, Tyrogue often nurse injuries from battles with larger Pokémon. They attack without warning and will become stressed if they spend even a day without training.

Tyrogue evolves upon reaching Level 20. The evolution is dependent entirely on its Attack and Defense stats. If Tyrogue has higher Attack than Defense, it will evolve into Hitmonlee. If Tyrogue's Defense is higher than its Attack, it will become a Hitmonchan. And if Tyrogue's Attack and Defense are even, then it will become the perfectly-balanced Hitmontop.
