Hitmonlee is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.

Hitmonlee is a {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an ovoid body. Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes with black space around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth. Primarily brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs. Each hand has three fingers and each foot has three clawed toes. The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow pads. Hitmonlee is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.


Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring. This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides and gives it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rare in the wild, it is primarily found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas.}} It had a number of kicking moves as [[signature move]]s in the past: {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}},  and {{m|Mega Kick}}.
Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring (and {{DL|Bruno|Pokémon Adventures|one particular Hitmonlee}} can do this with its arms as well). The source of its power comes from the ligaments in its legs that Hitmonlee can fully control. This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides, giving it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. Hitmonlee's kicking strength is incredibly powerful owing to its diamond-like soles. Right before kicking an opponent, Hitmonlee will harden the muscles on the sole of its foot, allowing it to maximize the full power of its kick. It has sometimes been nicknamed the "Kick Master". After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rarely found in the wild, it is primarily found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. It has been seen competing with either {{p|Hitmonchan}}, or {{p|Hitmontop}}.
 
Hitmonlee has had several kicking moves as [[signature move]]s:  
* {{m|High Jump Kick}} (Prior to [[Generation III]])
* {{m|Jump Kick}} (Prior to [[Generation IV]])
* {{m|Rolling Kick}} (Prior to [[Generation VII]])
* {{m|Mega Kick}} (In [[Generation II]], and from Generation IV to {{gen|VI}})
 
Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Reckless}} was Hitmonlee's [[signature Ability]].
 
===Evolution===
Hitmonlee evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

Hitmonlee (Japanese: サワムラー Sawamular) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Tyrogue starting at level 20 when Tyrogue's Attack is higher than its Defense. It is one of Tyrogue's final forms, the others being Hitmonchan and Hitmontop.

Biology

Hitmonlee stretching its legs in Pokémon Adventures

Hitmonlee is a humanoid Pokémon with an ovoid body. Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes with black space around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth. Primarily brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs. Each hand has three fingers and each foot has three clawed toes. The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow pads. Hitmonlee is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.

Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring (and one particular Hitmonlee can do this with its arms as well). The source of its power comes from the ligaments in its legs that Hitmonlee can fully control. This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides, giving it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. Hitmonlee's kicking strength is incredibly powerful owing to its diamond-like soles. Right before kicking an opponent, Hitmonlee will harden the muscles on the sole of its foot, allowing it to maximize the full power of its kick. It has sometimes been nicknamed the "Kick Master". After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rarely found in the wild, it is primarily found in urban areas. It has been seen competing with either Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop.

Hitmonlee has had several kicking moves as signature moves:

Prior to Generation V, Reckless was Hitmonlee's signature Ability.

Evolution

Hitmonlee evolves from Tyrogue.

Trivia

Origin

Based on its Japanese name and kicking attribute, Hitmonlee may represent Japanese kickboxer Tadashi Sawamura. Hitmonlee may be a personification of martial arts that focus on kicking, such as kickboxing, savate, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo. Due to its lack of a head, Hitmonlee's design bears a resemblance to mythical headless men such as the Xingtian and the Hindu demon Kabandha. Hitmonlee's legs are stretchy and can act like a spring which reminds of cartoonish concept of punching glove on a spring.

Name origin

Hitmonlee may be a combination of hit, monster, and Lee (a reference to Bruce Lee). The name is also related to Hitmonchan and Hitmontop, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of Generation II.

Sawamular may be derived from Tadashi Sawamura, a famous kickboxer.
