Description

Hitmonlee is probably the best sweeper in the entire game. It is able to OHKO most Pokémon with Reversal or its coverage moves. Generally you want to run Liechi Berry, however there is one exeption. On the Koga fight specifically you should run Salac Berry to outspeed Mega Toxtricity. If Hitmonlee isn't able to sweep entire fights then it usually still kills multiple Pokémon. --- To set up the sweep, you want to use endure, then get knocked down to 1 HP. This will activate your berry, in turn activating your Unburden ability, and it will make your Reversals have 200 base power. This allows you to outspeed and OHKO so much of the game, and is available right before Koga.
