Hitmonchan can fire punches in lightning-fast volleys that are impossible to see with the human eye. In “The Punchy Pokémon,” on the outskirts of Fuchsia City, Ash sees a Hitmonchan running down the road. He and Pikachu attempt to capture the boxing Pokémon, but fail miserably. The Pokémon’s trainer, Anthony, arrives soon after and relates to our heroes his desire to enter the Pokémon Grand Prix.
