Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue

When in a hurry, its legs lengthen progressively. It runs smoothly with extra long, loping strides.

Pokémon Yellow

When kicking the sole of its foot turns as hard as a diamond on impact it destroys its enemy.

Pokémon Gold

This amazing Pokémon has an awesome sense of balance. It can kick in succession from any position.

Pokémon Silver

If it starts kicking repeatedly, both legs will stretch to strike a fleeing foe.

Pokémon Crystal

It is also called the Kick Master.It uses its elastic legs to execute every known kick.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch. Using these springlike legs, it bowls over foes with devistating kicks. After battle, it rubs down its legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.

Pokémon Emerald

Its legs freely stretch and contract. Using these springlike limbs, it bowls over foes with devastating kicks. After battle, it rubs down its tired legs.

Name origin

Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into hit, monster and Lee - as in Bruce Lee; perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee." Its Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, さわむら ただし, Tadashi Sawamura.

It may be a personification of Taekwondo, a martial art that focuses on kicking and strengthening legs.
