UU has dawned, and many of the most powerful threats are now up in OU. But with the power creep giants that once reigned supreme have been dethroned, and are poised to take over UU. Snorlax, the undeniably king of 2 Generations is now in UU. Kyurem, a Legendary with a massive Base Stat total of 660 and attacking stats of 130/130/95 is unleashed. Mamoswine shakes the Earth and causes avalanches of icicles to appear. Heracross tosses enemies left and right with its mighty horn.
And these are just the Physical threats.
The Special side unleashes monsters like Solar Power Charizard, capable of 2HKO'ing the best special wall in the game. Raikou calls down lighting to strike its foes. Zapados drops from the skies of OU to bring its fury down upon unsuspecting prey. Gorebyss and Huntail break out of there shells and help spread the pain. Mew drops all the way from Uber to bring its multifaceted movepool to us. And Chansey, Suicune, Dusknoir and others are all poised to defend us from the unrelenting attacks.
Amidst all of this chaos lies the forgotten Pokemon. Often overlooked in favor of their more popular brethren they are lost in time, and often descend even lower, to land of NU.
This thread is for one of those forgotten Pokemon that has been overlooked for its close relative.
Hitmonchan
Type: Fighting
50/105/79/35/110/76
Abilities: Keen Eye - Pokémon's accuracy cannot be lowered.
Iron Fist - Increases the power of punching moves.
Inner Focus - Prevents flinching.
Movepool
Hitmonchan is the least used of the Hitmons. It lacks the pure power that Hitmonlee boasts, and the Versatility that makes Hitmontop a top contender. But it does have one redeeming set/trait. Out of all pokemon besides Smeargle it learns the most Priority moves. It also has decent special bulk, and access to Bulk Up. And Finally it has Iron Fist and Drain Punch, a combination that Conkledurr has shown just how effective it is.
So on to the sets.
Bulky Boxer @leftovers
Trait: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 Sp.Def
Careful (+Sp.Def,-Sp.Atk) or Impish (+Def,-Sp.Atk)
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch/Thunderpunch
- Mach Punch/Bullet Punch/Rapid Spin
This set is very difficult to take down as with a boosting nature Hitmonchan's special Defense is 350. After a Bulk Up or 2 Hitmonchan becomes very hard to take down. Drain Punch gives a Solid STAB that heals and gains a boost from Iron Fist. The Elemental Punch is your choice, as it is used for coverage. The last slot is used for Priority, or to help your team out if you need a rapid spinner.
It fares poorly against the stronger Special psychics so packing a pokemon to take them out will help you a lot. Houndoom makes a good partner in that aspect. Also note that this set is physically fragile till after a Bulk Up so avoid switching into stronger physical attacks.
That is it for now, will post more as more comes up, but this is the set that in my opinion sets this pokemon apart from the other Fighting types in UU this Gen.
Post away and Discuss.
