DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

    I remember struggling with getting Hitmonchan because as a kid I had no idea how the Hitmon line worked and for some bloody reason I thought it evolved based on its nickname. So I had a bunch of Hitmonlees and Hitmontops called names like "Bob", "Jim", "Nick" etc in trying to get a Hitmonchan. I was a very dumb kid.

For anyone who doesn't already know, if the computer controlled opponents in gen1 have a move on one of their Pokemon that is a type that's super effective against whatever Pokemon you currently have on your side of the field, they will use it, even if they aren't actually ABLE to cause any damage with it by doing so. This can be exploited in some matches, such as using a poison or fighting type to body Lance's Dragonite, for example.

    UN- first is just a way to claim fame, but damn it feels good. In the Gen 1 OU of the comment section, “first” was actually quite dominant, with many people making the claim to fame. It’s a shame there was a hard counter called “comedy” around, otherwise this would be the undisputed king of ou. It would have NEVER dropped to UU however, as for it absolutely DOMINATED over things like the king of the tier, “Pokémon Reccomendations”

    The thought that always creeped me out about Hitmonchan was that he's "wearing" clothes, gloves and shoulder pads. It's improbable that every Hitmonchan has a human buddy who gets that for him so they're probably part of his body. In short: he has swollen, disfigured hands, wears a flesh skirt and his shoulders are natural like Younger Toguro from Yu-Yu Hakusho.

    Let me finish Gen 8 for you: Then the DLC came out and power creep was let back in, causing Hitmonchan to drop all the way down into the gutters of Untiered. While some sets are somewhat viable in PU and the new ZU which is the new bottom of the barrel, no one uses it so it doesn't matter. THE END

    Yup most gen 1 to mons has really bad stat distribution they should seriously buff hitmon line hp like 70-80 base hp that sp def is damn useless with its horrenduous hp sceptile is a ou staple on gen 3 then drop heavily on gen 4 because of the special/physical split since most of sceptile moves becomes physical lol they could not even give sceptile atleast growth nasty plot and more special moves for sceptile that is why mega scep is such a waste lack of special movepool
