Pokemon Farming: Tyrogue
September 28, 2008
My first offering since being named Gym Leader of the Cobble Gym has to be the ultimate fighter Tyrogue. He may not seem like he is that powerful, but he evolves into three impressive fighters: the kickboxing Hitmonlee, the ultimate boxer Hitmonchan and the break-dancing spinner Hitmontop.
Tyrogue will evolve at level 20 and its evolution depends on its attack and defense stats. If the attack is higher than the defense, it will evolve into Hitmonlee who has the highest base attack and speed of Tyrogue’s evolutions. If attack is lower than the defense, it will evolve into Hitmonchan who can learn several elemental punching moves. Though it will have lower base stats in attack and speed than Hitmonlee it won’t have the dreadful defense that his counterpart has. If the attack and defense stats are the same, Tyrogue will evolve into Hitmontop who has equally good base defense and attack stats. All of Tyrogue’s evolutions have excellent base SpDef, but low HP.
Since attack is the name of the game in the fighting gym, all these Tyrogue’s will be Adamant (+Attack, -SpAttack) so if you are trying for the latter evolutions, then you need to EV train them in defense and with their fighting moves they will make mincemeat out of the Geodudes and Gravelers in the Oreburgh Mine or Iron Island. If after level 20 they aren’t evolving into the form you’d like simply press B to stop the evolution and keep up the EV training. Each of these Tyrogues will be holding a Qualot Berry. After you get the evolution you are looking for, then each Qualot Berry that you feed your poke will reduce its defense EVs by 10 and you can start working on its attack Evs.
Each Tyrogue will have an egg move from each evolution:
Mach Punch (Fighting STAB, Power 40, Acc 100:
A first strike move with a STAB boost.
Rapid Spin (Normal, Power 20, Acc 100):
Although it might not be the best use of its power, fighting pokemon are resistant to Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin removes such hazards along with Toxic Spikes, Spikes, Leech Seed and frees itself from trapping moves like Clamp, Fire Spin, Magma Storm, Whirlpool and Sand Tomb.
Hi Jump Kick (Fighting STAB Power 100, Acc 90):
A powerful move, but if it misses the user will take half the damage that it would have inflicted on the opponent.
Brick Break (Fighting STAB, Power 75, Acc 100):
A solid STAB move that will break defensive barriers such as Light Screen and Reflect.
Their abilities are:
Steadfast: raises speed one stage (50%) if flinched
Its evolutions are:
Hitmonlee – Reckless: Recoil moves get a 20% boost in power making Hi Jump Kick have a 180 power with is STAB and ability boost, but the recoil damage is upped 30% also.
Hitmonchan – Iron Fist: All punching moves get a 20% boost in power
Hitmontop – Technician: All moves with power of 60 or less get a 50% boost in power
Guts: Attack is boosted one stage (50%) if inflicted by a status such as Burn, Paralyze, or Poison.
Its evolutions are:
Hitmonlee – Limber: Cannot be paralyzed. Hitmonlee relies on his speed and can’t afford to be paralyzed.
Hitmonchan – Keen Eye: Accuracy cannot be lowered by opponents moves either directly by Kinesis or Sand Attack or by secondary effects on moves like Muddy Water or Mirror Shot.
Hitmontop – Intimidate: Lowers opponents attack one stage (50%) upon entering the battle
These Tyrogues will all have a 29+ IV in Attack
