*Hitmonchan's ability to learn the elemental punches ({{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|ThunderPunch}}) have long been considered purely novelty, given Hitmonchan's horrible Special Attack.  However, Generation IV introduced the physical/special split, which made these punching moves physical, so they ran off of Hitmonchan's good Attack stat.  Hitmonchan's second ability, Iron Fist, was also introduced, improving the power of Hitmonchan's punching-based moves.

*Hitmonchan can learn every single punching move except for {{m|Shadow Punch}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}} (although one could get a Hitmonchan with Dizzy Punch if the Odd Egg in Crystal hatched into a Tyrogue).  It also can't learn {{m|Sucker Punch}}, though that isn't an actual punching move.
