Pokemon GO: Machop Max Battle Guide (Max Mondays)
Pokemon GO's Max Monday event returns on January 6th, 2025, featuring the Fighting-type Machop! This one-hour event (6 PM to 7 PM local time) sees Machop dominating Power Spots, offering a limited window to battle and capture this Gen 1 Pokémon. Preparation is key, so let's examine Machop's weaknesses and ideal counters.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Machop, a pure Fighting-type, resists Bug, Dark, and Rock-type attacks. However, it's significantly vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Knowing this is crucial for selecting your battle team.
Optimal Machop Counters:
Max Battles restrict you to your owned Dynamax Pokémon. While options are limited compared to standard Raids, several stand out:
-
Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top-tier choices.
-
Charizard: Its Flying secondary type offers a powerful counter to Machop, coupled with Charizard's inherent strength.
-
Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, high-level evolved Pokémon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.
Remember, this event is time-sensitive! Choose your strongest Dynamax Pokémon with the right type matchups to maximize your chances of catching Machop during this limited-time Max Monday event.
