Hitmonlee [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
In-Game
Hitmonlee has always felt like a prizefighter’s reward in Kanto, because in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow you receive it from the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City as the choice opposite Hitmonchan.
Card History
This Fossil Hitmonlee stands out to old-school players because Stretch Kick could snipe a Benched Pokémon, a tactical effect that made a Basic Rare feel trickier than its straightforward artwork suggests.
Artist
The card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon art director whose paintings helped define the visual identity of Generation I, giving this Fossil rare a direct link to the franchise’s earliest look.
Set Lore
Hitmonlee #22 comes from Fossil, the English Pokémon TCG’s third main expansion, a 62-card set released on October 10, 1999 that helped cement the early Wizards of the Coast era for collectors.
Cultural Impact
Even though Hitmonlee itself is not a Fossil Pokémon, owning it in a Fossil pack links it to one of the brand’s most museum-friendly themes, a connection still celebrated today through the Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibition.
