where are you at in your heart gold/soul silver playthrough?

As I understand it, that ability that Tyrogue has determines the ability it'll have as a Hitmonchan. In this case, you want Steadfast, because a Tyroge with Steadfast will have Iron Fist after evolving.

Really?

Thanks!

Anyhow, since I don't have Waterfall (grr), it looks like it'll be awhile before I can even get him in the first place. So I moved on to Mahogany Town, caught the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage, and am currently going through the Rocket Hideout.

Well, I'm a bit further in HG, while taking a break from going after the eighth badge, I went onto Route 38 with my Frisk Stantler, scouting for some wild Pokemon with held items.

Anyway, earlier today I caught a Magnemite holding a Metal Coat, then I eventually found and caught a Farfetch'd holding a Stick (just to have one with its rather rare item), and then, I found a Raticate I found was holding a Chilan Berry. But that's not all...the Raticate was found to be shiny! So I caught that one too, but being as I already have a Raticate, I'm at a bit of a crossroads, what to do when you have a Pokemon raised from its first form, and you end up finding a shiny of the final form at a level lower than the level it'd normally evolve at? The shiny Raticate I caught is at L16, of course.

Well personally, I'd keep them both.

Oh, and congrats on being so lucky!
