MetaMons competitive notes
Hitmonchan is a fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 455 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 76) and a physical attacking profile. Its Keen Eye ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Hitmonchan. Build around what Hitmonchan actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
