Flavor Text

: Its legs can stretch double. First-time foes are startled by its extensible reach.

: The legs freely contract and stretch. The stretchy legs allow it to hit a distant foe with a rising kick.
: If it starts kicking repeatedly, both legs will stretch even longer to strike a fleeing foe.
: Hitmonlee’s legs freely contract and stretch. Using these springlike legs, it bowls over foes with devastating kicks. After battle, it rubs down its legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.
