Hitmonlee

Description

Released in 2014 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Furious Fists expansion, Hitmonlee #47 brings a distinct Fighting-type presence to the collection. This Basic Pokémon features 90 Hit Points and is illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga. The card introduces the Fighting Stretch Kick attack, which deals 30 damage to one of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations for those targets. This strategic mechanic allows players to apply pressure to less defended areas of the board. The secondary attack, Fighting Spiral Kick, also deals 30 damage and is paired with a modest Retreat Cost of 1, ensuring the Pokémon can enter battle efficiently. As an Uncommon card within the set, it serves as a reliable component for collectors building out the Furious Fists catalog. The design maintains the visual identity of the 2014 era, appealing to those who appreciate the specific aesthetic and gameplay mechanics of this period in Pokémon TCG history. Collectors often seek this card to complete their Furious Fists sets or to utilize its specific bench-clearing capability in themed decks.
