Hitmontop (カポエラー, Kapoeraa) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Hitmontop is light brown in color with a blue lower body including his feet and tail.

Behavior

Hitmontop are rather unorthodox fighters, as one may notice from their upside-down orientation in combat. When fighting, they perform enchanting “dances” of sorts before turning on their heads and spinning. Foes that are entranced by their elegant motions are then caught off-guard by their sudden flips, being pummeled by flurry of kicks as Hitmontop use Triple Kick. This spinning motion is both an offensive and defensive tactic; on one hand, their centrifugal force increases the strength of their hits by a factor of 10. On the other, their rapid spinning enables them to deflect many projectiles aimed at them. Hitmontop actually travel faster by spinning than walking. If they spin fast enough, they may even begin to drill holes into the ground. Hitmontop can be found in dojos teaching others the art of balance, which is important in many forms of martial arts. Even when pushed, they can orient themselves so that they tilt back into equilibrium without being acted upon by another external force.

Natural abilities

Hitmontop can have one of two abilities, Intimidate or Technician. Intimidate will lower the attack of the opposing Pokémon while Technician will slightly increase the power of moves with an attack power below 60.

Hitmontop is the only Pokémon that can learn the move Triple Kick.

Evolution

Hitmontop is one of the evolved forms of Tyrogue. Tyrogue evolves into Hitmontop when he reaches level 20, but only if his Attack stat and Defense stat are the same.

Trivia

• The reason Hitmontop only evolves if its Attack and Defense are equal is because a top will only stay spinning if it's balanced. As one can also see in the anime, Hitmontop's battling style constantly shifts from defense to offense.
• He is the only evolution of Tyrogue (excluding Tyrogue itself) whose name does not derive from that of a real martial artist.

Origin

Hitmontop is likely based on a spinning top, breakdancer, and a capoeira practitioner.

Etymology

Hitmontop comes from hit, monster, and top.

Kapoerā comes from capoeira, one of his inspirations.
