Strategy Overview
This analysis was written well over a decade ago. The following content is no longer accurate about this Pokemon's place in the metagame and the ADV OU metagame in general.
Hitmontop is mostly a novelty choice in standard play, but it is one of the few Pokemon who can come in on and force out any kind of Tyranitar. All in all, it is fun to use, but might not be suited for the most competitive teams.
