The boxing Pokémon. Throws punches faster than the eye can follow and is said to carry the spirit of a boxer who trained for a world title.
Napoléon Bonaparte
“The Little Corporal” · France · 1769–1821 · 5′7″ (169 cm), about 170 lb (77 kg)
Emperor of the French who conquered much of Europe before his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815. Not actually short: about average for his time. The myth came from British cartoons and French inches.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Napoleon, an artillery man by trade, has never thrown a punch faster than a cannon reload. Hitmonchan's blows arrive too fast to see, and after a first round of one-sided pummeling, Napoleon's corner throws in the towel before round two even starts.
Fair fight? Give Napoleon several months of actual boxing lessons beforehand — right now he's bringing artillery tactics to a fistfight against a professional.
