Trivia

• Hitmontop has never been seen upright in any of its sprites, yet it seems as if he is standing up in the Mystery Dungeon head sprites.
• Despite gaining an extra ability in Generation IV, Hitmontop doesn't have an exclusive ability. Hitmonlee's exclusive ability is Reckless, while Hitmonchan's exclusive ability is Iron Fist.

Origin

Hitmontop is based on a top and a practitioner of capoeira.

Name origin

Hitmontop's name is a combination of hit, monster and top. His name is also based on those of Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, who are parallel evolutions to him. It can also be interpreted as "hit 'em on top". His Japanese name is from capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that often involves spinning one's legs in the air.
