* Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon with Reckless that can use all moves affected by Reckless, as it can use them via {{m|Mimic}}. However, Hitmonlee can only have Mimic by learning it from the Move Tutor in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. To have Mimic and Reckless at the same time, Hitmonlee must either use an [[Ability Capsule]] in [[Generation VI]] or {{gen|VII}}, or learn Mimic as a Tyrogue then evolve in a Generation IV or V game (in this case, Hitmonlee has a 50% chance of having Reckless, depending on its [[personality value]]).

Trivia

  • Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Rhyperior, and Hitmonlee are the only Pokémon with Reckless that can use all moves affected by Reckless, as they can use them via Mimic. However, Hitmonlee can only have this combination by learning Mimic from the Move Tutor in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, then gaining Reckless by using an Ability Capsule in Generation VI or VII, or by learning Mimic as a Tyrogue and evolving in a Generation IV or V game (in this case, Hitmonlee has a 50% chance of having Reckless, depending on its personality value).
  • Although Volt Tackle, Wood Hammer, and Light of Ruin are all affected by Reckless, they cannot be naturally learned by any Pokémon that has this Ability.
