Hitmonlee (Japanese: サワムラー Sawamular) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Tyrogue starting at level 20 when Tyrogue's Attack is higher than his Defense. It is one of Tyrogue's three final forms.

Biology

Physiology

Hitmonlee is a human and egg-shaped Pokémon. Primarily brown, Hitmonlee has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs, with three fingers and three claw-like toes. The muscles on its legs are akin to a coiled spring, being able to freely expand and contract. These muscles are more accurate than its arms, allowing it to perform powerful knee and kick attacks. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them, and its feet have yellow coloration on their ankles and soles. It appears to lack a nose and mouth.

Gender differences

Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

Special abilities

Hitmonlee possesses a considerable sense of balance, enabling him to kick in succession from any position. When kicking, the sole of his foot turns as hard as a diamond on impact. Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen Blaze Kick. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. Hitmonlee also has a few mental-based moves such as Meditate and Mind Reader. As with other Template:Type2 Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few Template:Type2 moves and Earthquake.

Hitmonlee is one of very few Pokémon that learns Hi Jump Kick, and is the only Pokémon to learn Mega Kick via level-up.

Behavior

When in a hurry, his legs lengthen progressively. He can run smoothly with long, loping strides. After battle, he rubs down its legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.

Habitat

Hitmonlee have become domesticated, and therefore live around large cities. They are first documented in Kanto.

If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. Ash, and May ended up taking the place of the two. As it was a draw, Kyle and his father decided to both work at the restaurant while Kyle's girlfriend Terri took up ownership of the Dojo.

Trivia

  • Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared pre-evolution.
  • Despite his Pokémon Crystal Pokédex entry stating that he can execute every known kick, Hitmonlee cannot learn Triple Kick.
  • Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon to learn Mega Kick by leveling up.
  • He has the highest base Attack of all the Hitmons.
  • In Pokémon Platinum, Hitmonlee is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. Muk, Meowth, Oddish, Ninetales, Primeape, and Registeel are the others. Mareep, Natu, Xatu, Forretress, and Ursaring had their color palettes changed.
  • Despite using an opposite style of fighting to Hitmonchan, kicking instead of punching, he can still learn multiple punching moves through breeding.

Origin

Hitmonlee may be a personification of kick boxing, a sport that focuses on kick attacks. Hitmonlee bears resemblance to Blemmyes due to his lack of an actual head. The overall shape of his body also resembles a human foot. He may also be a personification of Tadashi Sawamura.

Name origin

Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into hit, monster and Lee - as in Bruce Lee; perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee". The name is also related to Hitmonchan and Hitmontop, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of Generation II. His Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, Tadashi Sawamura.

In other languages

  • German: Kicklee - From kick and Lee, as in Bruce.
  • French: Kicklee - From kick and Lee, as in Bruce.
  • Korean: 시라소몬 Sirasomon
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 沙瓦郎 Shā Wǎ Láng - 沙瓦 Shā Wǎ is the transliteration of "Sawa" from its Japanese name. The character 郎 refers to young males.
