>>25038704With Close Combat and Focus Punch, Hitmonchan's not the best fighter. But the real MVM is Agility, which Hitmonchan learns at Level 6. With double/triple speed you can run from pretty much everything, granted that you don't step on any traps, run within enemy sniping range, or get sandwiched in a corridor.
The most notable moments I can recall were finding a Thief TM that I actually had to use to fight off a Haunter, a Primeape tossing me out of a sandwich, and accidentally Stayaway Wanding a Gyarados right on top of the stairs. The last floor was an amazing play though.
