Hitmontop is a fabulous Fighting-typed Pokemon. It's pretty usual to see Hitmontop show up as a Gold/Silver opponent. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Hitmontop's only type-related weaknesses are Flying and Psychic.
Hitmontop is an astounding Physical Sweeper. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Years before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ High Jump Kick is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Fighting-type move (if miss, Hitmontop takes 1/8 damage it would've dealt). ♦ Mach Punch is a physical STAB-boosted priority-increased 40-base power Fighting-type move (usually goes first). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Strength is a physical 80-base power Normal-type move that deals a decent amount of damage. ♦ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Mud-Slap is a physical 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage). ♦ Detect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Hitmontop this turn).
