Revision 6

Overview

Hitmontop is a Fighting-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Handstand Pokemon (Dex #037). Hitmontop has the Trade specialty, letting it run a shop at a powered Cash Register. It does not teach Ditto any ability.

The Pokedex describes Hitmontop as "adept at dance-like kicks" and notes that "the horn atop its head is made from the same substance that generally forms fur and claws." In the main series, Hitmontop evolves from Tyrogue when its Attack and Defense stats are equal at level 20. In Pokopia, since evolution is not a mechanic, Hitmontop must be befriended separately through its own Gym First Aid habitat.

Hitmontop is the last of the four Hitmon family members in the Pokedex, following Hitmonchan (#036). All four (Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop) share the Trade specialty and the Bright ideal environment preference.

Habitat

Hitmontop appears in the Gym First Aid habitat (#026). The habitat description reads: "A first-aid kit is on hand in case any Pokemon injure themselves exercising."

Hitmontop is the only Pokemon that spawns in the Gym First Aid habitat. Once you build it, encountering Hitmontop is guaranteed. The Gym First Aid habitat (#026) sits right after the Urgent Care habitat (#025) in the Habitat Dex sequence, and both require a First Aid Kit as a component.

Location

Hitmontop can be found across all six regions: Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges, Sparkling Skylands, Palette Town, and Cloud Island. It appears at any time of day and in any weather condition.

Specialty: Trade

Hitmontop has the Trade specialty. Pokemon with this specialty can operate a powered Cash Register to exchange items with the player. Set up a Cash Register on a table with a second table next to it, connect the register to electricity, and Hitmontop will begin stocking items for trade.

Trades use a value-based barter system. Offer items whose combined value matches the price of the item you want. Crafted items are worth more than raw materials, so trading finished goods gives you better purchasing power.

Tips

• Hitmontop's Gym First Aid habitat requires a Punching Bag and a First Aid Kit, making it slightly harder to build than Hitmonlee's simpler Urgent Care habitat. However, both habitats share the First Aid Kit requirement.

• Unlike the other Hitmon family members who prefer Spicy food, Hitmontop favors Sweet flavors. Make sure to cook sweet dishes specifically for Hitmontop.

• Having multiple Trade Pokemon stationed at different locations across your island lets you maintain convenient access to shops. Consider placing Hitmontop's shop in a different region from Tyrogue's or Hitmonchan's.

• Furnish Hitmontop's area with exercise gear, fabric items, stone objects, and round decorations to boost its Comfort Level.
