        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Hitmonlee is a sad case in Pokémon GO. It has a pretty decent 224 Attack, but it’s tarnished to a Dex filler thanks to its horrible moveset. 😢

        ⚔️ Raids

        There’s literally no reason to use Hitmonlee when you have so many Fighting type options to choose from.

        🛡️ Gyms

        Even leaving its poor moveset aside, Hitmonlee can’t even tank hits from Gym attackers. 😭

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        🔵 Great League

        Hitmonlee’s high Attack and low bulk make it a misfit for the Great League. Besides, bigger threats like Primeape, Annihilape, and Machamp overshadow it completely.

        🟡 Ultra League

        Double Kick, Close Combat, Brick Break, Blaze Kick, Stone Edge… hmm, not too shabby, eh? 😳 But that low bulk comes into play and spoils the fun for Hitmonlee, making it pretty underwhelming. 📉

        🟣 Master League

        Not worth the risk! 😂

        Mega Pokémon that boost Hitmonlee

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Hitmonlee's Fighting-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Hitmonlee.

        Fighting Fighting

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Hitmonlee, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
