Strategy Overview
Hitmonlee is a big presence in RU thanks to its solid base 120 Attack stat and the great combination of Reckless and High Jump Kick as well as a bunch of cool moves including Knock Off and Rapid Spin, which make it a great wallbreaker and partner for Stealth Rock-weak Pokemon. Hitmonlee also has another useful ability in Unburden, which makes it a formidable late-game sweeper. However, Hitmonlee's average base 87 Speed and low HP and Defense leave it easily stopped by common Pokemon such as Aromatisse, Togetic, and Fletchinder.
