Okay, so I’ve been getting back into Pokemon Go lately, and I really wanted to make my Hitmonlee a beast. I mean, who doesn’t love a good fighting type, right? So, I started digging around to figure out the best moveset for this kicking machine.
First, I caught a bunch of Hitmonlee. It took a while cause they are not always showing up. Gotta get that candy, you know? And also find the perfect candidate to power-up with high IVs.

Then I went to check on some websites to get more infomation about the moveset. And I found some useful tips.
It turns out, the key is all about maximizing damage output. After trying a few different combinations, I finally landed on what seems to be the killer setup:
- Fast Move: Double Kick. I tried Rock Smash at first, but changed to Double Kick.
- Charged Move: Close Combat. This one hits like a truck!
I tested this out by battling in a bunch of gyms. I started smashing those Blisseys and Snorlaxes. It was awesome! My Hitmonlee was just tearing through them way faster than before. I’m telling you, it’s a noticeable difference.
So, to put that all together, if you’re looking to wreck some gyms with your Hitmonlee, definitely go for Double Kick and Close Combat. Trust me, I’ve put in the time testing this, and it really works!
