Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Hitmonchan

Reliable yet stubborn Taurus will find their match in the hard-working and strong-hearted Hitmonchan. You can always depend on a Taurus to get the job done, just like you can always count on a Hitmonchan to give it their all and never give up.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Gallade
