Hitmonlee is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.

Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring (and {{DL|Bruno|Pokémon Adventures|one particular Hitmonlee}} has the ability to do this with its arms as well). This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides and gives it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. Hitmonlee's kicking strength is incredibly powerful owing to its diamond-like soles. It has sometimes been nicknamed the "Kick Master". After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rare in the wild, it is primarily found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.
