Hitmonlee raid solo guide

I've done the hitmonchan solo but not the hitmonlee, but observed this discrepancy between the counter list of the two hitmons. They differ by 1 defense so it's all down to movepool as the main differentiator.

Gardevoir is a 'supreme counter' to Hitmonlee but not to Hitmonchan- is this due to the inclusion of steel move bullet punch or the greater amount of fighting moves in the Hitmonlee movepool to take advantage of the 4X resist gardevoir has to fighting?

Also- Dragonite is listed as a counter for Chan, but not for Lee (Chan has the ice punch though?)

Theoretically the inclusion of the elemental punches for hitmonchan shouldn't steer the decision either way because it doesn't adversely affect any counter except dragonite v ice punch maybe.

Bottom line: either Gardevoir should be good for both, or not good enough for either. Dragonite should also be good for both or not good enough for either.

Also, DG should be in place of psychic unless it was due to weather boosted commpatibility concerns - I don't think anyone is beating the hitmons with confusion/psychic gardevoir even if it is level 40.

So that's not the solo guide that you're referring to, but rather the counters page.

We plan on phasing out the counters page in the future because it does generally the same job as the solo and duo guides but causes greater confusion for users because sometimes they give conflicting information.

Thanks for the clarification!

Yes that is a great idea, I still remember the shock when I saw cacturne as a counter vs Claydol

Also in the Hitmonlee solo guide, it says that Rayquaza is weak to Ice Punch, but Hitmonlee just doesn't learn it.

And missed Psybeam on Espeons.

If you do that can you please keep the TDO / dps graphs as they are very useful
