Learn how to evolve Tyrogue into Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop in Pokemon GO using stat-based methods.

Tyrogue might not look very special at first glance, but its evolution options make it worth your attention. In Pokemon GO, this Fighting-type from Kanto can grow into three different creatures. Each has its own strength and stat focus. If you’re planning to add all three to your collection, you’ll need to know how to manage stats, Candy, and strategy.
Let’s walk through the different evolution paths and how you can prepare for them without wasting resources.

Collect Tyrogue and Candy
You’ll need multiple Tyrogue to complete all three evolutions. Start by focusing on how to find and collect them.
There are four main methods:
- Hatching Eggs.
- Completing specific research tasks.
- Trading with friends.
- Occasionally available in events.
Once you’ve caught or hatched a few, pay attention to their stats. Each evolution depends on a different one. Candy collection matters, too. Every evolution costs 25 Candy, so you’ll need at least 75 to evolve three Tyrogue. You can collect more by:
- Walking with Tyrogue as your Buddy.
- Transferring extras to Professor Willow.
- Trading duplicates.
- Hatching more Tyrogue from Eggs.
Managing your resources early on will help you avoid delay when the right stat distribution shows up.
Tyrogue Evolution in Pokemon GO
Evolve Tyrogue Into Hitmonlee

Hitmonlee evolves from a Tyrogue with the highest Attack stat. Check your Pokemon’s stats before choosing which one to evolve.
Once you confirm that Attack is the highest among the three main stats, spend 25 Candy. Hitmonlee becomes available. Known for its leg-based move pool, this form focuses on aggressive play. It’s a strong pick if you’re looking to deal fast damage in battles.

Evolve Tyrogue Into Hitmonchan

If Defense is your Tyrogue’s top stat, it will evolve into Hitmonchan. Again, check stats carefully. Even a small difference matters.
This evolution also costs 25 Candy. Hitmonchan can learn a variety of punching moves, some of which cover types beyond Fighting. That variety makes it a flexible addition to your team. It balances offense and defense, making it suitable for different battle formats.
Evolve Tyrogue Into Hitmontop

The third path requires a Tyrogue with the highest Stamina. If you’ve got one with this specific stat lead, you’re ready for Hitmontop.
You’ll need the same amount of Candy—25—to evolve it. Hitmontop is often valued more for defense. While it has a limited move set compared to the others, it includes Close Combat, a high-risk, high-reward move. Use it wisely, as it reduces your stats after use.

Working With Shiny Tyrogue
Shiny forms of Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop are available. To get them, start with a shiny Tyrogue. The evolution method stays the same, only the appearance differs.
Feed 25 Candy to your shiny Tyrogue, and make sure to choose the correct one based on its top stat. Once evolved, the shiny form remains consistent with the base you started with.
Make sure to evolve only after confirming the stat lead. Shiny forms are rare, and evolving the wrong one can set you back significantly.
