The Hockomonkey is initially fought in the Fifth District of Traverse Town. Once it takes enough damage, it will destroy the glass ceiling and drag Sora with it into the Garden, though it is possible to defeat it before this happens. Its attacks depend on whether it is using its normal or boxing arms. Occasionally, Hockomonkey will withdraw its arms and summon floating versions of its boxing gloves that will home in on Sora.

The safest way to attack Hockomonkey is with Flowmotion attacks.{{fact}}<!--which? does it matter?--> When prompted, Sora can also use [[Slingshot]] to toss Hockomonkey and leave it stunned momentarily.

<!--tighten this up; use official attack names from ultimania; each attack should include info on how to dodge or parry it

If its arms are "normal", then it mainly attacks with a two-strike backhand attack. It may also jump off a wall and charge at Sora in midair. Hockomonkey also attacks by turning its body upside down and kicking Sora.

The Hockomonkey remains in midair for the entirety of its battle with Riku. It mainly attacks by tossing fireballs at Riku. Midair and flowmotion attacks are the best way to attack the Hockomonkey. After taking enough damage, the Hockomonkey disperses into four disembodied hands which must be destroyed to force it to reform. Once it reforms, it will be stunned and vulnerable; Riku will sometimes be prompted to use [[Slingshot]] to toss the Hockomonkey. As its HP dwindles, Hockomonkey begins using a new attack where it summons boxing gloves to attack Riku from below.

For the Secret Portal rematch, Riku should equip [[Second Chance]], [[Leaf Bracer]], and homing commands like [[Balloonra]] or [[Balloonga]]. When it replaces itself with its four hands, attack them with the Balloon commands and the [[Kick Dive]] and [[Sliding Dive]] Flowmotion attacks. When the Hockomonkey's hands begin appearing out of the ground, Riku should endeavor to keep in the air using Flowmotion.
