Tyrogue (Japanese: バルキー Balkie) is a Fighting-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves into one of three different Pokémon starting at level 20:
- Hitmonlee if its Attack is higher than its Defense.
- Hitmonchan if its Defense is higher than its Attack.
- Hitmontop if its Attack and Defense are the same.
Biology
Tyrogue is a humanoid Pokémon with a predominantly pale purple body and brown hips and feet that resemble short pants and shoes. It has three blunt protrusions on top of its head, yellow eyes, and circular sections on each side of its head that resemble protective padding. There are white bands resembling bandages on its torso and wrists. It has thin limbs, and its hands have three fingers each. Tyrogue is a male-only species with no female counterpart.
Tyrogue is famous for its eagerness to compete and boundless energy, to such an extent that it will challenge anyone, even larger foes. Determined to make itself stronger, Tyrogue will not quit no matter how many times it loses. While it is small, Tyrogue should not be ignored as it can slugger a target without warning. As a result, it is always nursing its injuries from fighting opponents larger than itself. As Tyrogue becomes stressed if it is not able to train every day, its Trainer must maintain a regular training schedule. It is usually found in urban areas.
In the anime
Major appearances
Tyrogue debuted in A Tyrogue Full of Trouble. He had been abandoned by his previous Trainer and was left to fend for himself. As a result, he developed a hatred towards humans. Tyrogue ended up forming a gang of Mankey and Primeape, and together, they would steal from weary travelers, such as Ash and his friends. However, thanks to a Black Belt named Kiyo, who had been pursuing him, Tyrogue regained his trust of humans and ended up becoming his newest Pokémon.
Minor appearances

In May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, a Coordinator's Tyrogue competed in the Kanto Grand Festival.

Side game data
In Pokémon GO, Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonlee if Attack is its highest IV, Hitmonchan if Defense is its highest IV, or Hitmontop if HP is its highest IV. If there is a tie for its highest IV between two stats, it evolves into one of the Pokémon corresponding to its highest IVs at random. However, if all three stats are tied with the same IV, then there is an even split between evolving into Hitmontop and evolving into either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.

Trivia
- Tyrogue has several unique attributes:
- It is the only Pokémon whose evolution is determined by stats.
- It is the only baby Pokémon whose stats are all equal.
- It is the only Pokémon that composed a shared evolution family between two Pokémon that were previously unrelated.
- If a Tyrogue is hacked into Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen before the National Pokédex is obtained, it will be able to evolve into Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan, but due to FireRed and LeafGreen preventing evolution into non-Generation I Pokémon, it will be unable to evolve into Hitmontop.
- While Hitmontop shares the Ability Steadfast with Tyrogue, Tyrogue cannot retain this Ability after evolving. This is because Tyrogue's Steadfast is its second Ability, while Hitmontop's Steadfast is its Hidden Ability. This trait is shared with Cubone and Alolan Marowak's Ability, Rock Head.
- Tyrogue has the lowest base stat total of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
- Tyrogue also has the lowest base Attack stat of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
Origin
Tyrogue draws inspiration, especially in its most recent artwork, from wrestlers. The designs on Tyrogue's body resemble the uniform of most scholastic wrestling teams—possibly showing its maturity as a fighter (a younger creature, while its evolved forms seem more professional).
Name origin
Tyrogue is a combination of tyro (a beginner) or tyke (child) and rogue (one who is playfully mischievous). Ty may also be referring to Mike Tyson.
Balkie may be a corruption of bulky.
