Since we're on the topic of Hitmonlee, here's a set that's really underrated and kind of anti-meta atm:
Hitmonlee (M) @ Liechi Berry
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Endure
- Reversal
- Knock Off
- Mach Punch / Sucker Punch
This set got
really popular at one point (r0 and r1 i believe) but died very quickly and LO Rapid Spin Hitmonlee has become the standard set. I gotta admit, this is cockblocked by Doublade, but once Doublade has been weakened enough which is at like 35-40% HP, then this should be able to automatically sweep the opponent's team unless they have a sand/hail inducer (baby hippo and mega abomasnow), which you should also look out for and eliminate.
It focuses on abusing Unburden and Reversal's extremely high BP at 1 HP, and that can be accomplished with the combination of Endure and Liechi Berry, which, when consumed, gives you +1 Attack and doubled Speed from Unburden, allowing Hitmonlee to outspeed the entire metagame bar like Scarf Ambipom or some weird shit. At that point, anything can die to a full-boosted Reversal from +1, even resists like Moltres and Aromatisse, provided the latter isn't physically defensive and has been weakened a little bit:
+1 252+ Atk Hitmonlee Reversal (200 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Moltres: 276-325 (85.9 - 101.2%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
+1 252+ Atk Hitmonlee Reversal (200 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aromatisse: 332-391 (81.7 - 96.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(for comparison: +1 252+ Atk Hitmonlee Reversal (200 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Aromatisse: 225-264 (55.4 - 65%) -- guaranteed 2HKO)
By virtue, this set matches up very very nicely against HO provided Doublade has been weakened, which shouldn't be hard. For that reason it's better paired with things that can lure Doublade like Cobalion with Volt Switch, and things that can actually beat Doublade or cripple it like Spiritomb or Gourgeist with Will-O-Wisp (or in tomb's case, foul play) etc.
Mach Punch and Sucker Punch in the last slot are to prevent priority users from revenge killing this set, which works really nicely. Sucker Punch does a better job at handling Doublade especially if you've already used Endure and have 1 HP, to prevent Doublade from killing Lee with Shadow Sneak:
+1 252+ Atk Hitmonlee Sucker Punch vs. 212 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Doublade: 128-152 (41 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
