PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Fighting Attacker:
Counter
Close Combat
You know, Hitmontop is kind of Pokémon’s version of a Beyblade. 🌀 The irony is that using a Beyblade with those powerful Bit Beasts would do more damage than Hitmontop with its sorry stats and moveset. 😝
Also, this thing is SO. HARD. TO. CATCH. AND NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. 😡
⚔️ Raids
Why bring a silly spinning top masquerading as a breakdancer to Raids? There are plenty of other Fighting-type Pokémon to use! 🤭
🛡️ Gyms
Frustrated after wasting several Poké Balls and Berries on catching Hitmontop? Already have other Pokémon in Gyms? Then, sure, send Hitmontop to a Gym, lol. 😂

🔵 Great League
The Counter nerf in GBL Season 20 took a toll on many meta-relevant Fighting types. Hitmontop was okayish before, and the nerf made it worse. At least, it has Triple Axel and Stone Edge, which can surprise unsuspecting Flying types. 🪽
🟡 Ultra League
With rising threats and stronger Fighting-type peers, Hitmontop is best left in the Dex instead of the Ultra League. 😶
🟣 Master League
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no. ❌
