'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム２''' ''Pokémon Stadium 2'') is a [[Nintendo 64]] game that allows players to upload their favorite Pokémon from the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] in Japan). It features several battle arenas, introducing [[Stadium Mode]]'s original four cups, the [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]], the latter two of which would return in [[Pokémon Stadium 2|the sequel]], and the original [[Gym Leader Castle]]. It is the sequel to the mostly incomplete [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Pokémon Stadium]], which was never released anywhere but Japan.

There is also a Pokémon Lab where [[Professor Oak]] works, which also provides an area to store Pokémon and Items similar to [[Bill's PC]] and the player's own PC, allowing items and Pokémon to be transferred between them without a [[trade]], provided certain conditions are met.

There is also a option where players can upload and play Red, Blue, and Yellow (as well as Green in the Japanese version). The screen border can be changed to numerous styles.

There are also a number of mini-games in the game that can be unlocked.

==Game modes==
===Free battle===
A 4-player battle mode where players can battle with each other with their favourite Pokémon. There are two choices of Pokémon, A rental Pokémon consisting of 149 Pokémon or Transfer Pokémon a team composing of your team in Red, Blue and Yellow.

===Stadium===
{{main|Stadium Mode}}
This is the main game mode. The player battle here using one of four different cup rules; [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]] and [[Prime Cup]]. There are four levels of difficulty for each cup; Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball and Master Ball. However, [[Pika Cup]] and [[Petit Cup]] only have a single level of difficulty.

===Gym Leader Castle===
{{main|Gym Leader Castle}}
In this mode, the player will face all 8 of the gym leaders from [[Kanto]], followed by the Elite 4 and finally the player's rival. Each of the gym leaders has 3 apprentices that the player must first defeat in order to battle the gym leader themselves. Once all gym leaders, elite 4 members and the rival have been defeated, the player will be rewarded one of 8 Pokémon at random. These can be transferred back to the players [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]] or [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] version.

===Vs. Mewtwo===
Once the player has completed the [[Stadium Mode]] and [[Gym Leader Castle]] this mode will be unlocked. This mode is simply a battle with the legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}. After {{p|Mewtwo}} is defeated, Round 2 will be unlocked.

===Round 2===
Round 2 challenges the player to battle through the game all over again, against the same opponents with different Pokémon and a higher difficulty.

[[Image:GTS-sign.JPG|thumb|right|The GTS logo.]]
[[Image:Gtsglobe.png|thumb|right|Pokemon GTS's website globe.]]
The '''Global Trade Station''', '''GTS''' for short, located in [[Jubilife City]], is the worldwide network over which players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} can [[trade]] Pokémon via the {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}.

==In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
[[Image:Poke26.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Inside the GTS.]]
Located in [[Jubilife City]], the Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. In order to access the GTS, the player must have the [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]].

Inside, there is a large globe, called Geonet, on which players can indicate their location, and on which small dots representing players they have traded with will appear.

If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct [[Lucas (game)|him]] or [[Dawn (game)|her]] into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.

Pokémon searches, after being confined to one species that has been seen by the player, can be further narrowed down to [[level]] and [[gender]] of the Pokémon available. By level, players can search for and request Pokémon level 9 and under, level 10 and up, level 20 and up, and so on to level 100, or they can search for Pokémon of any level. Gender is similar, with the player being able to search for male, female, or either gender of the selected Pokémon.

Pokémon offerings are similarly governed, as the requested Pokémon in return cannot be any Pokémon that the player has not seen. Unfortunately, Pokémon that are offered cannot be bargained, as the player has to choose one Pokémon he or she wants for it, instead of having a more flexible list.

Like normal, inter-game trades have been since [[Generation II]], a Pokémon can also hold an item when being offered or traded. This may add incentive for a player to trade his or her Pokémon for a Pokémon that they already own, instead of just trading to complete the Pokédex, in order to get the item attached. Just the same, Pokémon that evolve after a trade will do so.

GTS also allows individuals to trade between two different games without having two NDSes. Though the Pokémon may accidentally be traded to someone else rather than the original trader.

==In Pokémon Platinum==
[[Image:Gts platinum.PNG‎|200px|thumb|right|The new GTS at night]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, the GTS has been redesigned to be larger and contain more features. It is located in the same place as the older GTS, in [[Jubilife City]].

===Global Terminal===
Other than the regular trading feature, there is a new feature where players may exchange Pokémon with another friend. The Global Terminal is apparently a computer-like machine which the player operates. It is not yet known what advantages this will offer over regular trading in the Wi-Fi Club, but a ranking system will be included.

===Vs. Recorder===
The [[Vs. Recorder]], also introduced in {{game|Platinum}}, has the ability to record and replay battles made in-game. A player may send and receive battles over Nintendo Wi-Fi using the Global Station. These battles can also be ranked by popularity and be watched by people on Wi-Fi. In addition, players can take pictures of their PC storage boxes and send them over Wi-Fi to friends.

===Mail System===
The GTS has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. The notification messages are sent to the player's actual e-mail address, and so the messages can be viewed either on a PC, mobile phone or a [[Wii]] console. In this way, the player will be spared of having to return to the GTS only to find that a trade has not yet been completed.

==Glitches==
===Cloning glitch===
{{main|Pokémon cloning#Generation IV|Pokémon cloning}}
There is a glitch on the GTS that allows the player to clone any Pokémon that doesn't have a Classic Ribbon. It involves turning the game off at ''pricesely'' the right moment before the Pokémon is deposited. If done correctly, when the game is turned back on, the player will have the cloned Pokémon in both their party/PC box and on the GTS.

===Trade evolution glitch===
There is a glitch with the GTS that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them. Players must first place a [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that evolves by trading it]] (with the correct held item, like [[Metal Coat]] for {{p|Scyther}} or [[Electirizer]] for {{p|Electabuzz}}) onto the GTS. For security reasons in case the Pokémon is taken, it is recommended that a player request an impossible trade, such as a [[level]] 9 {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it. After this has been done, returning to the Pokémon that was placed on the GTS by the player and taking it back will cause it to evolve. Players, of course, must be careful with this, as the Pokémon can, in fact, be traded, if the trade is not unreasonable enough, and it may be difficult to find a reasonable trade on the GTS itself. The only way to evade this risk is to ask for a Lv. 9 and under Celebi, which, when attempted to trade, the trade is canceled, because Celebi are unobtainable at this level. However, Celebi are nearly impossible to obtain without the aid of a cheating device.

Another variation of the GTS trade evolution glitch involves the cloning glitch. The player must deposit a Pokemon that evolves through trade without or with an evolution item (Haunter or Scyther with Metal Coat for example) onto the GTS, while performing the cloning glitch as normal. If successful, a clone of the Pokemon will remain in the party / box and when the other is withdrawn from the GTS it will evolve.

===GTS morphing glitch===
[[Image:torterrathemew.jpg|thumb|250px|An example of the morphing glitch. This is not a Torterra, but a Mew morphed into one and nicknamed "TORTERRA".]]
There have been somewhat numerous reports of a [[glitch]] happening in the GTS that causes a player's offered Pokémon to become glitchy. The Pokémon's sprite will morph into a different Pokémon, and the gender might be swapped as well. It will also say it is the same species it used to be (example: A morphed Heatran would still be Heatran/Heatran) and will be holding a [[Seal Bag]] (beta item). There is no confirmed way to deliberately access this glitch; however in many of the reports, people have reported that the glitch happened right after the GTS came up with no searches for any of the Pokémon, but did not send out a Communication Error. After it stops blocking all access to other Pokémon, it is believed that is when the glitch is most likely to happen. Trying to withdraw the glitch Pokémon will result in a Communication Error but when the game lets a player withdraw the glitch, the Pokémon returns to normal.

Another glitch similar to the morphing glitch has been happening where the Pokémon in the GTS is morphed into the wanted Pokémon (as shown in the picture to the right). Instead of its name being the same as before, its name is now that of the wanted Pokémon, but still the same species as the Pokémon originally offered. There's also the possibility of the morphed Pokémon holding a [[Seal Bag]]. Most of the time, trying to trade for it will either cause a communication error or say that the Pokémon has been traded.

===Vanishing glitch===
There have also been instances of a "vanishing" glitch on the GTS. After uploading a Pokémon to the server and checking its summary without changing the Pokémon, the "summary" button is replaced with "deposit," suggesting that the Pokémon has been traded. Selecting "Deposit" will cause a communication error, and the player will return to the front desk. Logging on to the server again will cause the Pokémon to reappear, with no noticeable changes.

==Controversy and criticism==
===Impossible trades===
Although being a well-meaning trade function, the GTS has come under much criticism from many players. Many traders ask for a version-exclusive legendary in exchange for a ridiculous offer, and many Pokémon asked for are at levels that are impossible for that Pokémon to be at, such as a level 9 and under {{p|Dialga}}. Other trades are dominated by demands of Pokémon currently being featured in Pokémon marketing, such as {{p|Munchlax}} or {{p|Lucario}}. Finally, the inability to ask for a Pokémon the player has not seen makes it impossible to trade for event Pokémon such as {{p|Manaphy}} and Pokémon that can only be found in [[Generation III]] games over the GTS without having seen the Pokémon through a cheating device. [[Nintendo]] has not commented on these pitfalls.

There is also a risk of getting hacked Pokémon when trading for legendary Pokémon and rare Pokémon since the GTS does not include the OT or the ID No. when seeking Pokémon.

A third problem is that a Pokémon with a [[Ribbon#Other Ribbons|Classic Ribbon]] can't be traded, making event Pokémon even more difficult to obtain.

===Temporary Legendary Pokémon ban===
On July 3, 2007, [[legendary Pokémon]] became banned from being traded on the GTS. A similar incident occurred in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Legendary Pokémon banning controversy|Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the same date.

The banning received a large amount of controversy. Nintendo stated that it was a "technical difficulty", which proved true when legendary Pokémon were again allowed to be traded over the GTS and battled in Battle Revolution.

It will also say it is the same species it used to be (example: A morphed Heatran would still be Heatran/Heatran) and will be holding a [[Seal Bag]] (beta item). There is no confirmed way to deliberately access this glitch; however in many of the reports, people have reported that the glitch happened right after the GTS came up with no searches for any of the Pokémon, but did not send out a Communication Error. After it stops blocking all access to other Pokémon, it is believed that is when the glitch is most likely to happen. Trying to withdraw the glitch Pokémon will result in a Communication Error but when the game lets a player withdraw the glitch, the Pokémon returns to normal.

Another glitch similar to the morphing glitch has been happening where the Pokémon in the GTS is morphed into the wanted Pokémon (as shown in the picture to the right). Instead of its name being the same as before, its name is now that of the wanted Pokémon, but still the same species as the Pokémon originally offered. There's also the possibility of the morphed Pokémon holding a [[Seal Bag]]. Most of the time, trying to trade for it will either cause a communication error or say that the Pokémon has been traded.

===Vanishing glitch===
There have also been instances of a "vanishing" glitch on the GTS. After uploading a Pokémon to the server and checking its summary without changing the Pokémon, the "summary" button is replaced with "deposit," suggesting that the Pokémon has been traded. Selecting "Deposit" will cause a communication error, and the player will return to the front desk. Logging on to the server again will cause the Pokémon to reappear, with no noticeable changes.

==Controversy and criticism==
===Impossible trades===
Although being a well-meaning trade function, the GTS has come under much criticism from many players. Many traders ask for a version-exclusive legendary in exchange for a ridiculous offer, and many Pokémon asked for are at levels that are impossible for that Pokémon to be at, such as a level 9 and under {{p|Dialga}}. Other trades are dominated by demands of Pokémon currently being featured in Pokémon marketing, such as {{p|Munchlax}} or {{p|Lucario}}. Finally, the inability to ask for a Pokémon the player has not seen makes it impossible to trade for event Pokémon such as {{p|Manaphy}} and Pokémon that can only be found in [[Generation III]] games over the GTS without having seen the Pokémon through a cheating device. [[Nintendo]] has not commented on these pitfalls.

There is also a risk of getting hacked Pokémon when trading for legendary Pokémon and rare Pokémon since the GTS does not include the OT or the ID No. when seeking Pokémon.

A third problem is that a Pokémon with a [[Ribbon#Other Ribbons|Classic Ribbon]] can't be traded, making event Pokémon even more difficult to obtain.

===Temporary Legendary Pokémon ban===
On July 3, 2007, [[legendary Pokémon]] became banned from being traded on the GTS. A similar incident occurred in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Legendary Pokémon banning controversy|Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the same date.

The banning received a large amount of controversy. Nintendo stated that it was a "technical difficulty", which proved true when legendary Pokémon were again allowed to be traded over the GTS and battled in Battle Revolution.

Wicked Weavile: /* giving birth */

==Mew's abilities==

In the first movie, mew used a bubble of pink psychic energy to save Ash. It also utilized this ability several other times throughout the movie. However, this is not stated in the "special abilities" section, alhtough what is stated is that mew can create forcefields. Forcefields and pink bubbles are two different things, this is best shown by the contrast between Mew "forcefield" in pokemon snap (which is also yellow/green) and Mew's Bubble in the first movie. So does anyone mind if I add in the bit about the pink bubbles?

== Mew doesn't listen? ==

Mew doesn't listen to its original trainer? Is this true? --[[User:Pluvia|Pluvia]] 20:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this always the case? I've seen a hacked Mew (Gen IV) that (according to the owner) is completely obedient. Could this be because the friendship level is so high, or is it just a fluke? [[User:Featherflame|Featherflame]] 20:51, 8/10/07

Mew and Deoxys are obedient in Gen IV even if they're hacked. [[User:Vereux0|Vereux0]] 20:08, 8/20/07

In Gen III, Mew and Deoxys have an obediance bit. If this is missing, they won't obey. It is possible to hack a Mew or Deoxys and have it obey. To answer the question, it depends on how it's hacked. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]
:And the obedience bit is automatically turned on when they get transferred over through Pal Park, I believe. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== I must be insane.... ==

Ok so Arceus tottaly conflicts with with mew but arceus came from an egg. What if mew was the egg and therefor is the ancestor of all pokemon mew just didnt "create" any new pokemon. In fact it was never even mentioned (to my knowlage) that he did. So therefor mew remains to look like a embryo (catching drift egg) and we shall never know~kittenchild
:which came first, the {{tt|Arceus|Chicken}} or the {{tt|Mew|Egg}}? -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Well by my theory and using the myths it states that "...at the heart of chaos where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the original one." This states that the egg came before arceus.

::Arceus was born from the cosmic Egg, but Mew contains the DNA of all Pokémon. It can be assumed that Arceus is the Creator and first Pokémon, but Mew is the common ancestor (assuming Arceus wasn't like Zeus who went spreading his genes all over the landscape).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

oh and by this theory im not saying arceus didnt create the pokemon universe im saying mew didnt realy "create" anything he just kinda was there... and his Dna is in everything (pokemon of course)
:Mew's Pokadex entry says that it is the ancestor of ALL Pokamon. And Arceus is the fat ass who created EVERYTHING (I then assume this includes <s>Mewtwo</s> Mew too). So, did Mew evolve into Arceus? Or did Arceus create Mew? It's all very confusing. Posted by the '''[[User:Optimus35|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''08:06 21 May 2008'''''

::::...I know Arceus is a Pokémon i was just saying :\ Look. The way i see it, Arceus came first, created Mew, and Mew became the other Pokémon (not like, the Legendaries). Just because it's the ancestor of all Pokémon doesn't mean it's the ansector of the God Pokémon, i'm sure Mew isn't the ancestor of the Legendaries as it says Arceus created Palkia, Diagla and Giratina and some others (if i remember rightly!). [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 15:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No noo noo. I meant mew hatched arceus (being the egg and all) and therefor because mew "created" (not realy) arceus' gentic meterial then arceus went to create the rest of the pokemon that genetic meterial caried over and mew never realy did squat...

Ok, this is what happened. First come Arceus. He say "I wanna Dialga and Palkia." And he made them. Next he say "Now i want universe." So he made universe. Next he say "I want living things." So he made Mew who laid eggs of Pokémon, and live-birthed humans. They all got up, but they each had no souls. Arceus say "Imma gonna give you souls." So he maid the lake trio who gave them all souls. Arceus fell asleep. Teh end. You can quote me on that. [[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 16:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:But Mew's Pokédex entry states that it's the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Here's what I think happened:
#The egg of Arceus is created from the chaos.
#The egg hatches.
#The eggshell, which was made of genetic material, forms into Mew. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Arceus.)
#Arceus creates Dialga and Palkia. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Dialga and Palkia.)
#Arceus creates Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.)
#Mew's descendants are all slightly different, and their descendants are slightly more different, and so on, until there are all of the different species of Pokémon. (This makes Mew the ancestor of all other Pokémon.)

--[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 00:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:The Pokédex in ''Diamond & Pearl'' doesn't specifically state that Mew may be the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Just that many scientists believe that it's the ancestor of Pokémon... ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You have to admit, it may be that Arceus created Mew, then Mew created the rest of the Pokémon. At least, that's what it looks like.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:That's the idea I had as well. Arceus took to slumber after creating reality and Mew created all other Pokémon. Perhaps Arceus created all Legendaries and Mew created the rest. Sinnoh myths only mention Dialga and Palkia and the Lake Trio because most people don't know of the other Legendary Pokémon of the region, and they probably wouldn't know of another region's Legendaries. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 20:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: It's subjects like this that just make you wish you could get Tajiri to do an interview r something...([[User:Fossilgojira|Fossilgojira]] 21:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC))
Yeah, only a few people in Sinnoh know about other Legendaries living in their own backyard like Cresselia and Heatran. The book in Canalave City apparently refers to Arceus as the "Original One", meaning that Arceus came before Mew.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: General consensus is all that is indicated by the Pokedex. Arceus is known to have created Palkia and Dialga, who in turn created the universe, while he created Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, who are credited with the creation of "spirit". This obviously makes them the progenitors of pokemon and humans. It's also worth noting that they all bear a more-than-superficial resemblance to Mew, all being extraordinarily powerful psychic pokemon. Mew, I believe, was their first collaborative creation, combining the essences of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower into a single entity. It was unstable, so as it laid eggs, they hatched into things that definitely were NOT Mew. That instability diluted acrost generations until pokemon species were all stable (except, of course, Mew). The exemptions to this origin are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio, for obvious reasons; Giratina, likely spontaneously creating itself upon the first death; and Darkrai, created gradually by psychoses, rage, and bad pizza forming nightmares. Shaymin most likely IS Mew-descended as we have no reason to think otherwise. Forgive me for talking so heavily in-universe, and remember all this is prefaced with "I believe...".

==TM lists==

Is it really necessary for list every single TM/HM under [[Mew (Pokémon)#By TM/HM|By TM/HM]]? Why not state that Mew can learn any TM/HM available and link them to the [[TM]] and [[HM]] pages? -[[User:Chosen|Chosen of Mana]]

:If that's true, it's a much better idea to combine Caterpie and Metapod's pages with Butterfree's, too, because the first two are USELESS. But we don't. Bulbapedia strives for completeness. Plus, you can just copy/paste Mew's learnset and subtract from it what you need to when adding them to the other Pokémon pages. Plus, think of it this way, you can see the contest stats for all of them, as well as the PP, type, power, damage category, and so on. Can you do that if we were just to put "LOL, EVERYTHING"? Nope.

== giving birth ==
I'm not so sure that when the programmers put "mew gave birth" into the diary, that that's what they literally meant. Couldn't it be more of a metaphor for the fact that after all the hard work the scientists went through, they wrote mew gave birth because the scientists were finally able to successfully clone mew? Although it wasn't stated in the games, in the anime it's mentioned that there were others before Mewtwo that didn't survive the cloning process. So maybe it's possible that they meant the cloning was finally a success rather than mew actually giving birth. [[User:InuMimi|InuMimi]] 19:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Hitmonlee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サワムラー''' ''Sawamular'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonlee is a brown colored, human-shaped Pokémon. He has three-fingered hands and three claw-like toes. Hitmonlee has segmented, cream-colored arms and legs. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth.
====Gender differences====
Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. Hitmonlee also has a few mental-based moves such as {{m|Meditate}} and {{m|Mind Reader}}. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few {{type2|Rock}} moves and {{m|Earthquake}}.

Hitmonlee is one of [[Signature move|very few Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Hitmonlee are extremely rare in the wild. Usually, they live around large cities.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''
 

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hitmonlee anime.PNG|right|thumb|A Hitmonlee in the anime]]
Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. [[Team Rocket]] stole him from a man named Giant in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{Ka|Anthony}}'s Hitmonchan (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]].

Another Hitmonlee appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' as one of the [[Yas Gym]]'s Pokémon.

A Hitmonlee was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].

Shiro, a challenger to the dojo in ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' uses a Hitmonlee.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a Hitmonlee belonging to a [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers|Festival Crasher]].

One of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' has a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee was used during the preliminaries of the Hoenn League by {{Ho|Gilbert}} in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''. Gilbert's Hitmonlee lost to [[Ash's Pikachu]].

[[Master Hamm]] used a Hitmonlee against his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], a cook, in ''[[AG145|Pasta la Vista]]''. If the Dojo Master won, he would retire, and Kyle would have to give up his shop for the Dojo. If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. {{Ash}}, and {{an|May}} ended up taking the place of the two. As it was a draw, Kyle and his father decided to both work at the restaurant while Kyle's girlfriend [[Terry]] took up ownership of the Dojo.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Hitmonlee makes a cameo in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as a mysterious Pokémon aboard the [[S.S. Anne]].

Hitmonlee later appears as one of [[Bruno]]'s Pokémon, who destroyed [[Bill]]'s house. Bruno explains that Hitmonlee's legs are so flexible, it's impossible to locate the position of its knees and attack them.

Hitmonlee was also seen as one of [[Chuck]]'s Pokémon. In the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff of {{PSV|13}}, it used {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Reversal}} to turn {{Special|Green}}'s tactics against him.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Hitmonlee (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Hitmonlee will preform a {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} dealing a great amount of damage on whoever it hit. Hitmonlee did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by {{p|Scizor}} who attacks in a similar way.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right]]
*A Hitmonlee is featured in the logo for [[Bulbapedia]]'s {{bp|Project MoveDex}}, seen to the right.
*Shiny Hitmonlee's legs have changed from purple to staying gray compared to the normal sprite.
*Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared pre-evolution.
*Hitmonlee is able to use its legs to swim very well as seen in [[Mewtwo Returns]]
*Despite it's [[Pokémon Crystal]] Pokédex entry stating that it can execute every known kick, Hitmonlee can not learn [[Low Kick]] or [[Triple Kick]].

===Origin===
It may be a personification of {{wp|Taekwondo}}, a martial art that focuses on kicking and strengthening legs. Hitmonlee bares the resemblance of {{wp|Blemmyes}} due to his lack of an actual head.
====Name origin====
Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Lee'' - as in {{wp|Bruce Lee}}; perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]]. Its Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.
