name: Life Orb Attacker
move 1: High Jump Kick
move 2: Knock Off
move 3: Mach Punch / Sucker Punch
move 4: Rapid Spin / Double Edge
ability: Reckless
item: Life Orb
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
nature: Adamant / Jolly
Moves
========
- High Jump Kick is one of the main reasons to use this set, as a base 130 damage move after being boosted by Reckless and Life Orb on a pokemon with base 120 attack 2kos pretty much everything in RU.
- Knock Off hits the ghost types Hitmonlee usually can't and takes items off of potential threats.
- A priority is needed on Hitmonlee since it isnt that fast, and mach punch is a decent STAB priority.
- Sucker Punch has slightly better coverage and damage, but can only hit Pokemon that try to attack.
- Rapid Spin allows Hitmonlee to spin away hazards, someone situational and needs prediction but is very useful.
- Double Edge does pretty good damage thanks to Reckless and can be used over Rapid Spins on teams that already have a spinner/defogger.
========
- Reckless is the best choice on this set since it boosts the power of High Jump Kick and Double Edge and because the other two abilities aren't useful on Hitmonlee.
- Life Orb increases the already high damage Hitmonlee is dealing out which is important on this set.
- The EVs maximize Hitmonlee's abilities as a fast Physical Attacker, giving him max speed and max attack.
- The nature allows Hitmonlee to either have higher speed or attack, which kind of is dependant on your team.
========
- Hitmonlee isn't physically bulky at all, so it won't be switching in much and will rarely be taking hits.
- Hitmonlee is weak to priority moves because of its very low defense stat.
- Make sure that you don't just spam High Jump Kick if your opponent has pokemon with Protect or Ghost-type Pokemon
========
- Shuckle is an amazing teammate with Hitmonlee, since Stealth Rock makes switching harder for the opponent and Sticky Webs allows Hitmonlee to outspeed faster pokemon.
- A physically defensive pokemon works well with Hitmonlee since Himonlee is physically frail.
- A strong special attacker works very well to take out physical walls.

name: Unburden Endure
move 1: Endure
move 2: High Jump Kick
move 3: Knock Off
move 4: Mach Punch
ability: Unburden
item: Liechi Berry
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
nature: Adamant
Moves
========
- Endure is so that Hitmonlee can take a hit to activate its item.
- High Jump Kick is a strong STAB move, though not as strong since this set doesn't run unburden.
- Knock Off lets Hitmonlee hit ghost types that it otherwise cannot hit, and allows Hitmonlee to take off items.
- Mach Punch is just a stab to hit pokemon that are faster than it and does decent damage.
