Collector Insights

Hitmontop is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It features two attacks: Repeating Kick, which costs two Fighting energy and deals 20 damage multiplied by the number of heads from a coin flip, and Rapid Spin, requiring two Fighting and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage while forcing switches of Benched Pokémon. The card is part of the Base series, released in 1999 as a Promo rarity card. Artist Atsuko Nishida designed the artwork, and its flavor text describes a Pokémon that spins to launch kicks, potentially boring into the ground at high speed. Hitmontop has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s retreat cost is one Colorless energy, and it is numbered 37 in the Wizards Black Star Promos set. Its theme color is a warm beige, reflecting its martial arts-inspired design.

It launches kicks while spinning. If it spins at high speed, it may bore its way into the ground.
