the fuck is "rby" doing in this question?
Rby Hitmonchan suffers a lot from having basically no special bulk, in generations that are NOT Gen 1, it has a Special Defense of 110, but in Gen 1, Special Attack and Special Defense was 1 stat (Special), and Hitmonchan's Special was a measly 35, while its speed wasn't terrible (at 76) it couldn't outspeed the important mons like Alakazam and Taurous, its HP isn't good (at 50), and Psychic-typed moves dealt damage that said "the Red, Green, and Blue developers should of done a lot more re-balancing" (even moves that aren't Psychic-typed but are Special gives Hitmonchan a lot of trouble)
