Pokemon GO: Machop Max Battle Guide (Max Mondays)

Pokemon GO Max Monday: Conquer Machop on January 6th, 2025!

Pokemon GO's Max Monday event returns on January 6th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, featuring the Fighting-type Machop! This one-hour event sees Machop appearing at all nearby Power Spots, offering a limited-time chance to battle and capture this Gen 1 Pokemon. Preparation is key, so read on to learn Machop's weaknesses and assemble the best team.

Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses:

Machop, a pure Fighting type, resists Rock, Bug, and Dark-type attacks. However, it's vulnerable to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy-type moves. Knowing this is crucial for victory.

Top Machop Counters:

Max Battles restrict you to Dynamax Pokemon you already own. Here are some top choices:

• Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic typing provides a significant advantage, making them a top-tier choice.
• Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it the edge against Machop's Fighting type, coupled with its powerful moveset.
• Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, fully evolved Pokemon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.

Don't miss this limited-time opportunity to add Machop to your collection! Choose wisely, battle strategically, and prepare for a successful Max Monday!
