'''Hitmonlee''' ({{ja|サワムラー|Sawamurā}}, ''Sawamular'') is a fictional creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.

Hitmonlee can be summoned by a [[Poké Ball]]. It attacks with Jump Kick: upon appearing Hitmonlee remains motionless for several frames, then it extends its leg and jumps in the air in an long arc towards a random opponent. If it connects it inflicts heavy damage and knockback. Hitmonlee's attack cannot harm the summoner.

Hitmonlee was seemingly replaced by [[Scizor]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as they have similar attack fashions and effects.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

===Trophy information===

Hitmonlee's trophy is exclusive to {{for3ds}}. Interestingly, its description actually acknowledges it being a Poké Ball summon in the original ''Super Smash Bros.''  

;Hitmonlee

''Sometimes referred to as the Kick Master, this flexible Fighting-type Pokémon can extend each leg to nearly twice its natural length. It can often be seen rubbing its legs down after a battle. In the original Super Smash Bros., it would shout to get itself pumped up and then launch fighters directly upwards with a powerful kick.''

==Origin==

Hitmonlee is a Fighting-type [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. Starting with {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation II}} it evolves from {{pkmn|Tyrogue}}. It is known for its long, springlike legs that allow it to kick rapidly from a distance. In the original games, it was along with {{pkmn|Hitmonchan}} one of the possible prizes for defeating the {{iw|bulbapedia|Karate Master}} in [[Saffron City]]'s {{iw|bulbapedia|Fighting Dojo}}.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Jump Kick|move}} is a Fighting-type move with 100 (70 in Generation I) base power and 95% accuracy. If it misses, the user takes {{iw|bulbapedia|recoil}} damage equal to half of its maximum HP (1 HP in Generation I). Hitmonlee can learn it in every game, and before {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation IV}} it was the only Pokémon able to do so.

==Trivia==

*In the Western release of ''Super Smash Bros.'', Hitmonlee retains his Japanese voice overs rather than being dubbed like in the anime.
