Hitmonlee help

[Eos Aduro]

Ok, Im going to get a Hitmonlee, so far I have this

Hitmonlee
Item ???
Carefull - Limber
EV spread 252 attack, 126 Spdef, 132 Speed
Substitute
Focus Punch
Blaze Kick
Hi Jump Kick

I know this needs work...

 

[Anti]

Stone Edge and EQ for subpunch

 

[Iceman3k]

Eh this might help.

Hitmonlee @ Life Orb
Ability: Body Risk
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Blaze Kick
- Hi Jump Kick
- Stone Edge
- Bulk Up / Mach Punch
Hitmonlee needs Jolly Nature, along with a max Speed IV to reach 300 Speed. Also, Hitmonlee doesn't have enough HP to take hits or use Defensive EVs on it.

You'll pierce through a lot of things if you can get Bulk Up to work.

 

[Anti]

Brick Break instead of Hi Jump Kick. It could miss at the worst moment and BANG you're dead.

Body Risk boosts Hi Jump Kick's Power.
But if not Hi Jump Kick, then stick with Close Combat.

And for the record, Brick Break sucks in D/P now.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Which would work, except that Hitmonlee's abilitiews are Limber and Reckless, no body risk. MAybe...

Hitmonlee
Limber - Jolly
Stone Edge
Blaze Kick
Bulk Up
Close Combat

Wait, what? It said it boost retalitory moves. I thought that was, I don't know, Reversal, Counter, Payback, etc?

Either way the moveset should be:
~Insert strong fighting move here
~Blaze Kick
~EQ
~Stone Edge

I agree with this post by Iceman3k all the way. Iceman3k is One Experienced Player that i know. btw, Use Bulk up Obviously. since you already have Hi Jump Kick for that Set on Hitmonlee.

Hitmonlee @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Reckless
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
-Blaze Kick
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Close Combat

'Nuff said.

 

[Anti]

Lord Mike is right. That's the right moveset.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Only one gaping hole of a problem, I can only get one earthquake TM, and I really need it for Metagross... Would this work?

Close Combat
Blaze Kick
Stone Edge
Bulk Up

 

[Lord Mike]

Then you'll have to move some Attack EVs into HP and possibly Defense.

Earthquake isn't needed. Mach Punch or Bullet Punch in its place.

 

[Anti]

That or bulk up. Can help his attacking power and might even allow him to last a hit!

Bulk Up wouldn't be any use on a Choice Scarf Hitmonlee.

 

[Anti]

Good point. Scrap bulk up in that case.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Ok, so right now its

Blaze Kick
Bullet Punch
Stone Edge
Close Combat

 

[Anti]

Looks good to me. Nothing more to say here.

there's only one right way to use hitmonlee this gen:

Hitmonlee @ Choice Band
Careful Nature
240 ATK/152 SP DEF/116 SPD
-Close Combat
-Blaze Kick
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

you bring him in to take a special hit, and use good prediction to fire a hard hit at what stays in or what switches in.
