Hitmonchan is my favorite Pokemon, but he's kind of outclassed by... well, most other Fighting types. Basically, his weird stats confuse me when it comes to EV training, and he wishes he had double the moveslots. I suppose I could post the rest of my team idea, but that would be a huge post. This is for PSS battling, so keep in mind his level is going to be 50 when giving EV advice!
Hitmonchan @Life Orb
Iron Fist (what else, lol)
Jolly or Adamant
252/252 speed and attack? Should some go into Special Defense?
-Agility/Mach Punch
-Drain Punch
-Ice Punch
-Thunder Punch
I really wish the Hitmons didn't have such lousy HP, but for some reason they were not some of the lucky oldmon gifted with increased stats. I don't know if Agility or Mach Punch would be better. I suppose my problem is that I can't see how Hitmonchan could switch in safely and have a chance to set up. The team does have wish/healing support, which might help with him with coming in. Doubling up on move types is generally bad, but Drain Punch is to recover from Life Orb recoil. Choice Scarf or Band are other ideas I had. I have a feeling that building a Hitmonchan is a lost cause, but if someone more knowledgable could advise on something I overlooked, I'd love to hear it!
