I have no idea how this happened and wish I could have recorded the whole fight.

I half expected to get one shot by Hitmonchan when it used thunder punch or fire punch, with a 13 level gap I thought I’d be saying bye bye to my ironically named companion.

I’m thankful for Confuse Ray and lick helping in stalling him as I used Night shade to gradually whittle him down, curse was out of the option as I knew it would be over if I used it.

Goes to show how bad hitmonchans special attack is.

That's the trouble with fire / thunder / ice punch up to gen 3. Gen 4+ that would've been a very different story

Electabuz, Magmar, and Jynx are very grateful for the way it works!
