Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - The Loop

Hitmonlee (Japanese: サワムラー Sawamuraa) is a Fighting -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Hitmonlee is light brown in color with tape-like markings around its forearms and legs. While it looks like it has tape wrapped around its legs, the tape is actually its legs coiled like a spring which stretch to increase the distance of his kicks.

Behavior

Hitmonlee and their relatives Hitmonchan and Hitmontop are found in cites, training peacefully alongside humans. They also occasionally head to mountains to train, though they generally return to urban areas at night. After tough training sessions, Hitmonlee will often massage their legs to prevent fatigue. They can often be found in dojos, teaching people how to deliver devastating kicks as well as learning new, unorthodox techniques from them.

Natural abilities

Hitmonlee can effortlessly extend and stretch their legs as if they are springs, going twice beyond their initial length to knock out their foes in good balance. It should be noted that their legs can keep stretching further while they are constantly clobbering their opponents.

Evolution

Hitmonlee evolves from Tyrogue at level 20 if its Attack is higher than its Defense.
