Trivia
- Despite Hitmonchan being the only Pokémon able to have this ability, Dizzy Punch, Hammer Arm and Meteor Mash cannot be learned by it in Generations III or IV.
- Hitmonchan could learn Dizzy Punch in Generation II, if it was known by it as a Tyrogue hatched from the Odd Egg in Pokémon Crystal.
- Sucker Punch is not boosted by Iron Fist, since it is originally ふいうち (Surprise Attack) in Japanese.
