Collector Insights

Hitmontop is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the HeartGold & SoulSilver set, released on February 10, 2010, and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The artwork is created by artist Ken Sugimori, and its flavor text describes a Pokémon that spins rapidly to deliver powerful kicks, potentially burrowing into the ground. Hitmontop has two attacks: Triple Kick, which costs a single Fighting energy and deals 20 damage multiplied by the number of heads from three flipped coins, and Close Combat, requiring two Colorless and one Fighting energy to deal 60 damage while granting a defensive boost during the opponent's next turn. The card has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design reflects a focus on speed and physical strikes, emphasizing its aggressive combat style. The card's unique mechanics highlight its role as a versatile attacker with both direct and strategic options.

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