'''Hitmontop''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カポエラー''' ''Kapoerer'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
'''Hitmontop''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カポエラー''' ''Kapoerer'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.


He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} are equal. It is one of three of Tyrogue's final forms.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} are equal. It is one of Tyrogue's [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmontop is a vaguely {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of spinning on its head. Its main body is spherical and mostly blue with a brown triangular patch on its chest. Hitmontop has short legs with white bands near the hands and feet. The feet are large, blue, and have a circular brown pad on the underside. It has a skinny brown retractable tail that ends with a blue sphere with a spike on it. Its head is round and brown with flat, curved extensions on either side and a single spike on top. The spike horn is made from the same substance that creates both its fur and claws. The horn is continuously growing through Hitmontop's lifetime. It has beady, black eyes, and spherical hands with no digits. Hitmontop is a male-only species with no female counterpart.
Hitmontop's main body has a spherical shape and is mostly blue (except for a brownish triangular patch on his chest). He has short legs with white bands at the lower portions, and big blue feet similar to {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s (but with a different toe arrangement) and a circular brown marking on the underside. He has a skinny brownish tail that ends with a blue sphere with a spike on it. His head is round and brown with flat, curved extensions, a beady-eyed face and a single spike on top.
====Gender differences====
Hitmontop is a male-only species with no female-counterpart.


====Special abilities====
Hitmontop is very adept at fighting with dance-like kicks. This technique has an amazing combination of both offense and defense at the same time. Hitmontop moves more quickly by spinning on the spike on its head than it does by walking normally. Capable of spinning at high speeds, it may bore into the ground similar to a drill. While spinning, Hitmontop delivers smooth, graceful kicks. The centrifugal force of Hitmontop's spins boosts the destructive power of its attacks by a factor of 10. Anyone enchanted by its kicks will often get drilled hard by Hitmontop's kicks. Hitmontop often competes with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. As an {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban species}}, it is often found in towns and cities.
Hitmontop is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Triple Kick}}. If it spins at high speed, it may bore its way into the ground.


===Behavior===
Prior to [[Generation VII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Hitmontop is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Triple Kick}}. Additionally, prior to Generation VII, Hitmontop and its evolutionary relative, Hitmonlee, were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Rolling Kick}}.
Hitmontop spins on his head and uses his tail and legs to smack enemies. Although Hitmontop travels faster spinning than walking, it is still capable of walking normally in which case it retracts its tail to its side.


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmontop evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite gaining an {{a|Technician|extra ability}} in [[Generation IV]], Hitmontop doesn't have an exclusive ability. {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s exclusive ability is {{a|Reckless}}, while {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s exclusive ability is {{a|Iron Fist}}.
* Unlike {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, none of Hitmontop's names in any language derive from famous people.
* Unlike Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, Hitmontop's English name does not derive from that of a movie star.
* Hitmontop can learn the most [[priority]] moves of all Pokémon, with 14 {{cat|increased priority moves}} and two decreased priority moves.
* Though Hitmontop shares the [[Ability]] {{a|Steadfast}} with {{p|Tyrogue}}, a Steadfast Tyrogue cannot evolve into a Hitmontop with the same Ability, as Steadfast is Tyrogue's second Ability and Hitmontop's Hidden Ability.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Hitmontop is based on a top and a practitioner of {{wp|capoeira}}.
Hitmontop appears to be based on a {{wp|spinning top}} and a {{wp|capoeira|capoeirista}}. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats needing to be equal in order for Tyrogue to evolve into Hitmontop is similar to how a top must be in equilibrium to remain upright. Its idle animation from [[Generation VI]] onward depicts it performing a ''{{wp|List of capoeira techniques#Ginga|ginga}}'', a basic technique in capoeira. Hitmontop may also be based on a circus performer such as an {{wp|acrobatics|acrobat}} or {{wp|strongman}}, with its arms, legs, and tail being shaped similarly to barbells used by circus weightlifters.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Hitmontop's name is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''{{wp|top}}'', likely referring to spinning tops as Hitmontop has been known to spin. His name is also based on those of {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, who are parallel evolutions to him. The name could also be seen as "hit 'em on top".
