Strategy Overview
Hitmontop is one of the most flexible support Pokemon in the metagame with Intimidate, the pressure it applies from Fake Out, access to numerous useful support moves, and decent offensive capabilities. However, Hitmontop lacks firepower against the metagame's many Fighting-type resistances and can be forced off the field by foes with Intimidate and its own Close Combat stat drops. While Hitmontop can patch up a team's weaknesses with its appealing role compression, it often finds itself generating little pressure against some of the tier's most common Pokemon such as Metagross and Mew.
