Hitmonchan

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.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.

Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Obama's southpaw jab and pickup-court footwork buy him a good half of round one, but Hitmonchan's blur-fast combinations—the whole point of the thing—turn his midsection into a speed bag. By round two his corner throws in the towel rather than watch a sitting president get out-boxed by a boxer.
Fair fight? Give Obama a full training camp with real corner men first; a president who's only ever swatted a fly needs the reps against a Pokémon built to box.
