Hitmonchan, known as the Punching Pokémon, is a humanoid fighting type Pokémon with two natural boxing glove shaped hands as well as training clothes. Hitmonchan was originally known as "Ebiwara" in Japanese, which is based on Japanese former two-time world flyweight boxing champion Hiroyuki Ebihara. Similarly, Hitmonchan's English name is derived from the name of martial artist Jackie Chan. Hitmonchan punches lightning fast, which makes it impossible to see. It can punch through a concrete wall by using its arms in a drill-like fashion. After three minutes of fighting, it needs to take a short break. Spinning its arm before punching increases its strength. The slightest touch of its punch could cause a burn. This Pokémon has an indomitable spirit, and will never give up in the face of adversity.
