Trainers are curious about how to evolve Tyrogue in Pokemon GO.

Now, it's not the actual mechanic of evolution that's the problem. Rather, like Eevee, trainers are interested to know how they can get each of Tyrogue's three evolutions: Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Hitmontop.

To that end, we've explained how to get each form and what the link may be between a Tyrogue, its stats, and what form will come from it.

How to Evolve Tyrogue

Trainers can evolve Tyrogue by using 25 candies. This is the most straightforward part of this whole process.

Before they evolve their Tyrogue, however, we recommend trainers check its stats. All Pokemon have different Attack, Defense, and Stamina stats that can be checked using the game's Appraise feature. While the actual level of each stat isn't important with Tyrogue, its amount in relation to each other is.

How to Evolve Tyrogue into Hitmonchan

Tyrogue may evolve into Hitmonchan if Defense is one of its highest stats. If it is the highest stat, evolution into Hitmonchan will be the most likely outcome.

Hitmonchan has the following stats:

  • Maximum CP: 2636
  • Maximum HP: 127
  • Attack: 193
  • Defense: 197
  • Stamina: 137

How to Evolve Tyrogue into Hitmonlee

Tyrogue could evolve into Hitmonlee if Attack is one of its highest stats. If it's the highest out of the three, trainers can expect Hitmonlee to be the most likely evolution.

Hitmonlee has the following stats:

  • Maximum CP: 2912
  • Maximum HP: 127
  • Attack: 224
  • Defense: 181
  • Stamina: 137

How to Evolve Tyrogue Hitmontop

Tyrogue has the chance to evolve into Hitmontop when Stamina is one of its highest stats. If it's the top stat, this Pokemon will most likely evolve into Hitmontop. This is a bit ironic, however, as Hitmontop's Stamina stat is its lowest.

Hitmontop has the following stats:

  • Maximum CP: 2438
  • Maximum HP: 127
  • Attack: 173
  • Defense: 207
  • Stamina: 137
