CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Hitmontop balances on its head and spins like a top to deliver successive kicks. Rotation lets it attack while defending itself, and it moves faster this way than by walking. Against an opponent, it sometimes begins with a headstand that disorients them before it strikes. The Pokédex says it can spin so fast that it gradually burrows into the ground.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Omega Ruby states that Hitmontop travels faster on its head than on foot. Pokémon Sword adds that its rotation can make it sink into the earth. This spectacular movement is therefore also a means of travel, not only a fighting technique.
