Hitmonchan
“The Punching Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 4′7″ (140 cm), 111 lb (50.2 kg)
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.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Pikachu's Quick Attack gets him across the ring fast, which is also how he walks onto Hitmonchan's jab. The 44 kg heavier boxer lands a few blows too quick to see, and Ash throws in the towel in round one. Pikachu refuses the Poké Ball ride home.
Fair fight? Make Hitmonchan fight on his knees, which shrinks the 100 cm height gap and gives Quick Attack something at head height to aim at.
