Collector Insights

Rocket's Hitmonchan is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features a unique attack named Crosscounter, which requires one Fighting energy to activate. This ability triggers when an attack damages Rocket's Hitmonchan during the opponent's next turn, allowing a coin flip where heads results in double damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon. The card also includes Magnum Punch, a three-energy attack that deals 50 damage without additional effects. Rocket's Hitmonchan has no resistances and is weak to Psychic-type attacks multiplied by two. The card was released in the Best of Game set in December 2002 as a Promo rarity. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the artwork, and it is numbered 9 in the series. The card's flavor text emphasizes its role in strategic combat scenarios through its conditional damage mechanics.
