#236 Tyrogue
“Tyrogue (Japanese: バルキー Balkie) is a Fighting-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves into one of three different Pokémon starting at level 20:
- Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonlee if its Attack is higher than its Defense.
- Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonchan if its Defense is higher than its Attack.
- Tyrogue evolves into Hitmontop if its Attack and Defense stats are equal.
Tyrogue is a humanoid Pokémon with a predominantly pale purple body and brown hips and feet that resemble short pants and shoes. It has three blunt protrusions on top of its head, yellow eyes, and circular sections on each side of its head that resemble protective padding. There are white bands resembling bandages on its torso and wrists. It has thin limbs, and its hands have three fingers each. Tyrogue is a male-only species with no female counterpart.
Tyrogue is famous for its eagerness to compete and boundless energy, to such an extent that it will challenge anyone, even larger foes. This is the famous intense desire that Tyrogue is known for. Determined to make itself stronger, Tyrogue will not quit no matter how many times it loses. While it is small, Tyrogue should not be ignored as it can slug a target without warning. As a result, it is always nursing its injuries from fighting opponents larger than itself. As Tyrogue becomes stressed if it is not able to train every day, its Trainer must maintain a regular training schedule. It is usually found in urban areas. The training Tyrogue does influences its possible Evolution into either Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop.”-Bulbapedia.
