Best answer. Hitmonlee has more attack and speed, while Hitmonchan has slightly more defense. Overall, I would go with Hitmonlee because of that high attack and a better movepool. But if you wanted coverage of more types (ice/fire/thunder punch), Hitmonchan is the definite way to go.

What kind of moves do you get with Hitmonlee?

Hitmonlee for great STAB moves. Even though hitmonchan can learn the elemental punches, his special sucks and all those moves are special. Hitmonlee can get jump kick and high jump kick for massive stab damage along with his higher attack.

What kind of Defense does Hitmonchan have in Gen 3?

Hitmonchan has great Special Defense, and it can use Mach Punch to go before faster Pokemon. Ice, Thunder, and Fire Punch are special in Gen 3, so Hitmonchan can’t make good use of them. Hitmonlee has Hi Jump Kick and Mind Reader, but even without Mind Reader it doesn’t miss much. It also has Reversal if it appeals to you.
