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 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 such as its former [[signature move]], {{m|Triple Kick}}. As an {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban species}}, it is often found in towns and cities.
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.

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}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Hitmontop is based on a {{wp|top}} and a practitioner of {{wp|capoeira}}. The fact that Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} must be equal in order for it to evolve into Hitmontop is akin to how a top must be in equilibrium to remain upright.
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.
