Now, I agree the TechniTop set can be very effective, especially with such a great movepool like Hitmontop has (Close Combat, Stone Edge, Earthquake). Hitmontop can be a great tank, but I don't know very much about Hitmontop in depth when it comes to its current status and common use in the uu metagame, because I've only used Hitmontop as a spinner before, I never found an interest in the poke.

By far Hitmonchan.
It has punching power. That's better than kicking.

hmm?
elaborate please.
hitmonlee has the better attack and speed of the two, so it could take hitmonchan out pretty fast.Mind reader and high jump kick(especially with the ability reckless), or Endure and reversal make a nasty combo.
hitmontop is the most balanced, and has the highest defense of the three.
Its technician is really annoying, seeing as how most of its moves are under 60 strength.
it also can learn the most moves out of them, where it can learn mach punch, and high jump kick(through breeding), as opposed to chans and lees punch and kicks only.
chan obviously has one of the one pokemon only abilities, and iron fist isn't even that good when compared to reckless and technician.
Obviously, it has the most type advantages, and is predictable.It is also mediocre(at the most) with speed, and most flying types are faster than 70 as a base stat.
I think most of us can agree that hitmonlee and hitmontop are both better than hitmonchan here.
 
Hitmonchan learns all of the ever useful elemental punches, not to mention an exclusive technique, Vacuum Wave. (I believe it's exclusive to him, correct me if I'm wrong) It's stats aren't that great on it's own however, so it's really useful for breeding these moves onto other fighting types.

Though Hitmontop is cooler, because I say so.

Lucario can learn Vaccum Wave ;) I think other pokemon can too, but I don't know anyothers right off the top of my head.
 
I use Hitmonlee on my competitive OU teams. Most birds outrun him which is why you have to be careful and bring him in when he can outrun and outattack them.

Never switch him in on an attack. Only switch him in on a fainted pokemon.
 
I loooove hitmontop
hes so original
my vote goes to him.
 
What about tyrogue cause tehy all evolve from him but w/e my vote goes to hitmontop

Hitmontop for looks though ^^
 
Hitmonlee is the best of the trio if talking about competitive battling.
But i thing hitmontop has more fans arround.

Nope, Lucario/Riolu get it as an Egg move from Hitmonchan.

And whilst I'm making a post, I'd like to say although Hitmonchan is probably the most useful, Hitmontop is certainly the coolest. Shame about it's movepool. Though I could see Triple Kick being scary with technician involved.
 
Actually, Hitmonchan is the least useful and overall worst of the trio.

Don't just say that. It's kind of pointless. If you're going to make a statement like that, you should at least make an attempt to back it up. Otherwise it's tantamount to spam.

EDIT: Hang on, realizing the irony here. I explained why a page back though, looking at it, so did you. Apologies.
 
It IS the worst of the trio. It's slower than Hitmonlee, less bulky than Hitmontop, has less attack than Hitmonlee, and didn't get Sucker Punch. It's also used the least of the three.
 
However, I'm not saying it's useful in battle, but for the fact that it gets Vacuum Wave which can be bred on to Lucario, and subsequently on to the other two Hitmons. Also, it can be useful in terms of being unpredictable due to the elemental punches it gets, but making the opponent guess is perhaps all it's good at.
 
Vacuum Wave coming off Base 35 SpA? Not gonna work, just use Mach Punch, or NP Toxicroak.
