Mach Punch got + priority, so it's probably it's main move.

Mach Punch will still only have 72 power, though. Hitmontop with Technician is better at abusing Mach Punch, thanks to the 8 more power(lol, it actually does make a difference). It is also better defensive.
The only reason to use Hitmonchan is because of the elementalpunches with 90 power. Thunderpunch is powerful enough to 2HKO Skarmory without Leftovers, which is pretty good. And still, it gets Close Combat which will be his most powerful STAB attack.

Well Focus Punch Of course gets stab too...but ive battle with it on wi-fi recently and it did okay.....I also with Chikos advice took a look at hitmontop which my friend had already started on(hes always one step ahead:() but yeah they both work okay...There nothing thats gonna sweep and entire team, but there good nonetheless
