Hitmonchan (Japanese: エビワラー, Hepburn: Ebiwaraa) (HIT-mon-chan) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Concept artwork of Hitmonchan.

Hitmonchan's appearance is very similar to a human, when compared to other Pokémon. Its skin is a light brown color. Its appears to be wearing a purple, skirt-like attire and bright red boxing gloves. Its feet are also a purple color, giving it the appearance that he is wearing shoes. Its enlarged shoulders appear as large shoulder pads. The very top of its head is separated into five sections, and its face has visible eyes and a mouth but no nose.

Behavior

Hitmonchan is an extremely resilient Pokémon who won't give up in the face of challenges. Any Hitmonchan may appear to be standing idly when in fact launching volleys of punches faster than bullet trains into thin air as practice. However, these punches do tire them out—after three minutes of intense work, they need to take light rests. Regardless of the setbacks they face, Hitmonchan are determined, having the spirit of champion boxers. Even during these breaks, Hitmonchan will often move around or jog quickly in place.

They are also skilled in sparring with light punches, allowing them to act as a sparring partners to fellow Hitmonchan or to aspiring human boxers (the latter of which who almost always lose, but learn from fights nonetheless). Like Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan can be found training in dojos, but can also sometimes be seen punching away at boulders in mountains.

Natural abilities

Hitmonchan utilize their punching moves to the fullest, far more than any other Pokémon. Their punches can be so quick that it is possible that they are not able to be seen. Hitmonchan can learn all three elemental punches which are strong against elemental Pokémon that are weak against them. They can also punch so much that their punches slice through the air, but at the expense of their stamina. Even a slight graze will cause a burn, and can demolish concrete (which a Conkeldurr wields).

Evolution

Hitmonchan evolves from Tyrogue at level 20 only when its Attack stat is lower than his Defense stat.

Appearances

Anime

Goh's Hitmonchan.

Hitmonchan first appeared in the anime episode The Punchy Pokémon, where he was entered into a fighting tournament under the ownership of a trainer named Anthony.

• Anthony's Hitmonchan
• Kim's Hitmonchan
• Kyle's Hitmonchan
• Bruno's Hitmonchan
• Goh's Hitmonchan

Trivia

• Hitmonchan's regular and shiny color boxing gloves resemble the traditional boxing gloves colors, red and blue respectively.
  • Both colours also reference the parts of a boxing ring with said colours, as well as its games of origin (Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version).
• Little Mac from the game "Punch-Out" weighs 107 lbs., the same number as Hitmonchan's Pokédex number.
• Although Hitmonchan could learn the Element Punches from the start, it couldn't use them effectively until Diamond/Pearl, due to Fire, Ice, and Electric being Special types, combined with its poor Special Attack stat.
• According to Pokémon Red and Blue, he can fire punches invisible to the human eye. This would mean that Hitmonchan can throw a punch at 38146 mph.
  • Coincidentally, Hitmonchan can learn 6 types of increased priority moves via level up alone, the most of any Pokémon.
• Vacuum Wave and Mach Punch are its signature moves in the generation 8 games.
• The fact that it needs a break every 3 minutes refers to he duration of rounds a boxing match has.
  • Despite this, it can't learn moves like Giga Impact that force the user to recharge.
• It and Hitmonlee were not related in Generation I, but when Tyrogue was introduced they are now related.
  • Furthermore, both gained 75 points in special defense in Generation II.
  • Also, in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, only it, Hitmonlee and Hitmontop can pass down egg moves.
• Despite his evolution requirement, its base Attack exceeds its base defense.

Origin

Hitmonchan is based on a boxer. It may be a caricature of Hiroyuki Ebihara himself.

Etymology

Hitmonchan's English name is derived from the words "Hit", "Monster" and the last name of film star Jackie Chan, the same as how Hitmonlee is derived the same first two words and the last name of Bruce Lee. His Japanese name, Ebiwalar, is derived from the world champion boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara.
