Just hatched a Tyrogue and have over 25 candy. How does its evolution work?

Overall, your Tyrogue is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!
I see that its best attribute is its HP.
It is matched equally by its Attack.
Its stats exceed my calculations! It's incredible!
This ends my analysis. Farewell.

For me, the best result would be my first-ever Hitmontop and I would also be happy with Hitmonlee (among four that I lack for a Gen 1 living wonder dex, excluding regionals/legendaries), but I want to avoid Hitmonchan, since I already have a wonder.

Is there a name trick or any other way to guarantee a good result? If not, perhaps I should leave it as a Tyrogue?

It's evolution depends on the highest stat:
HP - Hitmontop
Attack - Hitmonlee
Defense - Hitmonchan

Where there is a tie, as it is in this case, then it will be random. So, you'll either get a Top or a Lee.

Don't know whether or not it has been fixed: IIRC, when Tyrogue was first released, HTop had a higher chance when all three IVs were equal.

HP=Atk then HTop:HLee
HP=Def then HTop:HChan
Atk=Def then HLee:HChan

But if HP=Atk=Def then HTop:HTop:HLee:HChan

I don't think you could tell that easily since it's based on how much it has in the base stats I think. I think that one might end up a Hitmonlee but not sure. My Lee has 15 attack, my Chan has 14 attack, my TOP has 14 Defense, but these are IVs only, they might not be anything to go by.

In the main games, Tyrogue's evolution is based on the calculated attack and defense stats. In Go though, it is just based on IVs.

You will get either hitmontop or hitmonlee. 50% for each. Tyrogue evolution is determined by the best stat iv:
attack - hitmonlee.
Defence - hitmonchan.
HP - hitmontop.

my hitmontop has defense IV as highest, my hitmonchan has attack as highest and so does my hitmonlee. So it doesn't seem to go by IVs alone.

The Lee is evolved, the chan and top were wild caught, I didn't know they can have any IV in that situation. But if you hatch a 100%, does that mean it will randomly pick what it evolves into?

Thanks for the replies! Since I would be fine with either Top or Lee, I went ahead to evolve it and got a Lee.
