Hitmonlee (Japanese: サワムラー Sawamular) is a Fighting-type Pokémon. He evolves from Tyrogue starting at level 20 when Tyrogue's Attack is higher than his Defense. He is one of Tyrogue's final forms, the others being Hitmonchan and Hitmontop.
Hitmonlee is a Pokémon shaped similar to both a human and an egg. Primarily brown, Hitmonlee has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs, with three fingers and three claw-like toes respectively. The muscles on his legs are akin to a coiled spring, being able to freely expand and contract. These muscles are more accurate than his arms, allowing him to perform powerful knee and kick attacks. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them, and his feet have yellow coloration on their ankles and soles. He appears to lack a nose and mouth.
