| ===Physiology===
| | Hitmonchan is a tan, humanoid Pokémon that is exclusively male. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has extensions resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. As this appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It is able to throw punches too quick to be seen with the naked eye. By punching with a corkscrew motion, it is even capable of drilling through concrete. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, it has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas,}} it is rarely seen in the wild. |
| Hitmonchan is a tan colored, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|human-shaped}} Pokémon. His body resembles a light purple tunic with a kilt and fists resemble red boxing gloves. His enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads. His purple feet give the appearance of a pair of a {{wp|boxer}} shoes. Unlike his parallel evolution, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, he has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head. | |
| | |
| ====Gender differences====
| |
| Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart. | |
| | |
| ===Special abilities===
| |
| Hitmonchan's most notable ability is his wide versatility in boxing. His major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect his fists. He used to be [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] who could learn all {{m|ThunderPunch|three}} {{m|Fire Punch|elemental}} {{m|Ice Punch|punches}}.
| |
| | |
| Hitmonchan are well known for their capability of {{m|Mach Punch|lightning-fast punches}} that are {{m|Bullet Punch|faster than bullet trains}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave|impossible to be seen by the naked human eye}}. When doing this, they sometimes appear as if they are standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.
| |
| | |
| Although they have an extremely well developed talent in {{m|Comet Punch|quick, light blows}}, Hitmonchan can also throw {{m|Mega Punch|power-}}{{m|Focus Punch|packed}} {{m|Close Combat|punches}}. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill. Like most {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, he can also learn some {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} moves.
| |
| | |
| Before attacking a target, Hitmonchan will spin his arms to increase the power of his attacks. Both his speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.
| |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing him to work harder, he never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, he usually needs a short break after each fight he takes part in.
| |
| | |
| Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they are not normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s influence. When under the possession of a Trainer, however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; he may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or he might fight for bad purposes without question.

| | |
| ===Habitat===
| |
| [[File:Urban Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
| |
| Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. He is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo. While it is unknown where they came from originally, they were first found in [[Kanto]].
