In order to make it evolve into Hitmontop, Tyrogue needs to have the same attack and defense stats. Nothing above or below, just the same stats. Which is extremely difficult.

If your Tyrogue has the same Attack and Defense stats and you raise it to level 20, it will successfully evolve into Hitmontop.

Question

When will the Day Care man allow two Pokemon with him?

Top Answerer

The Day Care Center in Kanto only allows one Pokemon to be raised. It's the one on Four Island that allows two Pokemon to be raised at once.

Question

I have followed your instructions, but the day care says that Ditto and Hitmonchan don't like each other much. What did I do wrong?

Community Answer

Nothing. It is the game's way of telling you that it is not the best option. Normally the best combo is the same Pokemon. After that, the same egg group. This is why the game states Hitmonchan and Ditto don’t get along very well.

Do not have different attack and defense stats for Tyrogue. You have to restart the whole process again if it well beyond level 20 and has different stat rates.
