Hitmonlee has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (224), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Hitmonlee deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
