Fighting

Its punches slice the air. They are launched at such high speed, even a slight graze could cause a burn.

Strategy Overview

Hitmonchan is unviable in SS ZU because it is entirely outclassed as an entry hazard remover by Cryogonal, which has better Speed, greater bulk, and a wider movepool. Gurdurr also makes for a better utility Fighting-type than Hitmonchan, as it has access to Knock Off.
