Hitmonchan vs. Pirmeape
 
Hello, I'm having a tought time on which one I should use. I really like Primeape, but if Hitmonchan is better I will use him.

This is just for the games, not competition.

Ayselipera June 25th, 2009 7:54 AM

I'd pick Hitmonchan. It has better stats all together.
Plus if you can breed it with the ability Iron Fist then all its punching
moves will go up in power.

Although Hitmonchan and Primeape have the same stat totals
I think Hitmonchans is divided better.

Kazukii June 25th, 2009 7:58 AM

I like Hitmonchan more, it's a cooler pokemon, less common & is very similar to Primeape anyway.

Okcez June 25th, 2009 11:23 AM

Well, it's Red version so I can't breed and the hitmonchan isn't an evolution Hitmonchan.

The Mankey will be evolved into the Primeape.

Does that change any answers at all?

True Reign June 25th, 2009 11:36 AM

Hitmonchan because I remember when I had one and all he had was the three punches and protect, lol.

There were no abilitys back then...

I say Primeape. Its faster, and its moves dont really difer from hitmonchans that much.

Don't forget primeape is the second fastest fighting type in the game, i'd say go with Primeape if you want something speedy, it's nearly the same as Hitmonchan anyway.

lolwut June 25th, 2009 1:10 PM

Primeape, since you're playing red version it's better. If you were playing any newer game i'd say hitmonchan.

Yaliw June 27th, 2009 1:35 PM

get the Primeape and be very very happy.

Redstar June 27th, 2009 3:48 PM

Umm. Why can't you have both?

Leafeon1201 June 28th, 2009 12:51 PM

Hitmonchan. He can learn all of the elemental punches which gives him a less shallow move set. And all of his stats are better

That's a pretty good point there. But if you can only pick one, then Primape, because of it's high base Speed stat.

King_Zora June 28th, 2009 4:43 PM

Hitmonchan would be a great choice for me, Has great Stats.

Greene1516 June 28th, 2009 6:15 PM

Lol Pirmeape :D -

I forgot that this wasn't for competitive battling...

It might just be me, but maybe he means to say "Hitmonlee"?

Synaesthesia June 30th, 2009 8:33 AM

Primeape is not very good. :x I'd choose Hitmonchan because he can learn a wide variety of moves with different types. All of those ______ Punches come in handy. You can use Ice Punch against a flying Pokemon and you'll be fine. Primeape can't really do that. XD

I don't know, I'd choose Hitmonchan.

I also like Hitmonchan more, I never used Primeape in an actual battle before


:t354:TG

ThePokeHack July 1st, 2009 4:48 PM

My personal choice is Hitmonlee, based on the fact that his high att and speed, also he has a high special defense allowing him to survive most psyhic blasts though then again my Hitmonlee I raised from lvl 5 caught where you catch pidgeys and rattatas; the fact that I like Hitmonlee may factor in as well.

derozio July 2nd, 2009 6:37 AM

Primape is better coz he's faster. He can also tackle flying types.

machinegun777 July 2nd, 2009 8:32 AM

Personally, I like Hitmonchan better

Sebastien Loeb July 2nd, 2009 11:54 AM

Agree to me it is very better Primeape for his greater speed.

cartercr July 2nd, 2009 3:58 PM

Hitmonchan Primeape
50 HP< 65 HP
105 Atk=105 Atk
79 Def>60 Def
76 Spe<95 Spe
35 SpA<60 SpA
110 SpD>70 SpD

Also, you have to look deeper than that, you have to look at movesets.
Hitmonchan
-- Comet Punch Normal
07 Agility Psychic
13 Pursuit Dark
26 Fire Punch Fire
26 Ice Punch Ice
26 Thunder Punch Electric
32 Mach Punch Fighting
38 Mega Punch Normal
44 Detect Fighting
50 Counter Fighting

-- Scratch Normal
-- Leer Normal
09 Low Kick Fighting
15 Karate Chop Fighting
21 Fury Swipes Normal
27 Focus Energy Normal
28 Rage Normal
36 Seismic Toss Fighting
45 Cross Chop Fighting
54 Screech Normal
63 Thrash Normal

My verdict, Primeape, he has better moves, and he has better stats. Just go with the one that makes more sense for what you are trying to accomplish.

shininglatios217 July 5th, 2009 6:44 PM

I think Hitmonchan´s better because it has the elemental punches.

Ramsie July 5th, 2009 7:09 PM

Primeape is fast and can learn Rock Slide to deal with Flying types and is fast. Hitmonchan has a varied moveset that can cover a variety of types even if its Special is less than desireable. Whatever you choose depends on what you would prefer to have on your team.

Primeapes a fun pokemon and his moves actually work t his advantage.
