Hitmontop (Japanese: カポエラー Kapoerer) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Tyrogue starting at level 20 when Tyrogue's Attack and Defense are equal. It is one of Tyrogue's final forms, the others being Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan.
Biology
Hitmontop is a vaguely humanoid Pokémon capable of spinning on its head. Its main body is spherical and mostly blue with a brown triangular patch on its chest. It has short legs with white bands near the hands and feet. The feet are large, blue and have a circular brown pad on the underside. It has a skinny brown tail that ends with a blue sphere with a spike on it. Its head is round and brown with flat, curved extensions on either side and a single spike on top. It has a beady, black eyes and spherical hands with no digits. Hitmontop is a male-only species with no female counterpart.
Hitmontop moves more quickly by spinning on the spike on its head than it does by walking normally. Capable of spinning at high speeds, it may bore into the ground similar to a drill. While spinning, Hitmontop delivers smooth, graceful kicks, such as its signature move Triple Kick. As an urban species, it is often found in towns and cities.

Trivia
- Unlike Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, none of Hitmontop's names in any language derive from famous people.
- Hitmontop can learn more priority moves than any other Pokémon, with 14 increased priority moves and two decreased priority moves.
- Though Hitmontop shares the Ability Steadfast with Tyrogue, a Steadfast Tyrogue cannot evolve into a Hitmontop with the same Ability, as Steadfast is Tyrogue's second Ability and Hitmontop's Hidden Ability.
Origin
Hitmontop is based on a spinning top and a capoeirista. Its Attack and Defense stats needing to be equal in order for Tyrogue to evolve into Hitmontop is similar to how a top must be in equilibrium to remain upright. Its idle animation from Generation VI onward depicts it performing a ginga, a basic technique in capoeira.
Name origin
Hitmontop is a combination of hit, monster, and top (a reference to spinning tops and how it fights, by spinning on its head). The name is also related to Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, both of which have been parallel evolutions to it since Generation II.
Kapoerer is derived from capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that often involves spinning one's legs in the air.
