Strategy & play
How Hitmonchan ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Sky Uppercut) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Hitmonchan ex
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

How can I tell if my Hitmonchan ex is real?
