Mega Kick (Japanese: メガトンキック Megaton Kick) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I. It is Hitmonlee's signature move.

It appears to be a counterpart to Mega Punch, as the type and names are the same or very similar. Both moves have also had relative exclusivity to the Hitmons.

Effect

Mega Kick deals damage and has no secondary effect.
