'''Tyrogue''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バルキー''' ''Balkie'') is a {{type|Fighting}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

* Tyrogue evolves into {{p|Hitmonlee}} if its {{stat|Attack}} is higher than its {{stat|Defense}}.

* Tyrogue evolves into {{p|Hitmonchan}} if its Defense is higher than its Attack.

* Tyrogue evolves into {{p|Hitmontop}} if its Attack and Defense stats are equal.

Tyrogue is a {{wp|humanoid}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a predominantly pale purple body and brown hips and feet that resemble short pants and shoes. It has three blunt protrusions on top of its head, yellow eyes, and circular sections on each side of its head that resemble protective padding. There are white bands resembling bandages on its torso and wrists. It has thin limbs, and its hands have three fingers each. Tyrogue is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

Tyrogue is famous for its eagerness to compete and boundless energy, to such an extent that it will challenge anyone, even larger foes. This is the famous intense desire that Tyrogue is known for. Determined to make itself stronger, Tyrogue will not quit no matter how many times it loses. While it is small, Tyrogue should not be ignored as it can slug a target without warning. As a result, it is always nursing its injuries from fighting opponents larger than itself. As Tyrogue becomes stressed if it is not able to train every day, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} must maintain a regular training schedule. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas.}} The training Tyrogue does influences its possible evolution into  either {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, or {{p|Hitmontop}}.

===Evolution===

Tyrogue evolves into either {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} or {{p|Hitmontop}}.

* Tyrogue has several unique attributes:

** It is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose evolution is determined by stats.

** It is the only [[baby Pokémon]] whose stats are all equal.

** It is the only Pokémon that created a shared evolution family between two Pokémon that were previously unrelated.

* Not including evolutions into [[regional form]]s, Tyrogue is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]] to have a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolution]].

** Prior to the introduction of {{p|Dipplin}}, Tyrogue was the only Pokémon to have three different evolutions.

* While {{p|Hitmontop}} shares the [[Ability]] {{a|Steadfast}} with Tyrogue, Tyrogue cannot retain this Ability after evolving. This is because Tyrogue's Steadfast is its second Ability, while Hitmontop's Steadfast is its Hidden Ability. This trait is shared with {{p|Cubone}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}'s Ability, {{a|Rock Head}}.

* Tyrogue has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

** Tyrogue also has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Fighting-type Pokémon.

Tyrogue draws inspiration, especially in its most recent artwork, from wrestlers. The designs on Tyrogue's body resemble the uniform of most {{wp|scholastic wrestling}} teams—possibly showing its maturity as a fighter (a younger creature, while its evolved forms seem more professional). Tyrogue's head is also shaped similarly to {{wp|wrestling headgear}} meant to protect ears from long term injury.

Tyrogue is a combination of ''tyro'' (a beginner) or ''tyke'' (child) and ''rogue'' (one who is playfully mischievous).
