Pokemon GO's Max Monday event on January 6th, 2025, features Machop! This guide helps you prepare for this one-hour event (6 PM to 7 PM local time), where Machop will dominate Power Spots. Maximize your chances of catching this Gen 1 Fighting-type by understanding its weaknesses and choosing the right Dynamax Pokemon.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses in Pokemon GO
Machop is a pure Fighting-type. This means it resists Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. However, Machop is vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Prioritize Pokemon with these types for optimal results.
Top Pokemon Counters for Machop in Max Battles
Remember, Max Battles restrict you to using your own Dynamax Pokemon. While options are limited compared to standard Raids, several excellent choices exploit Machop's weaknesses:
- Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top-tier choices.
- Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it an edge. Combined with Charizard's inherent power, it's another excellent option.
- Other Powerful Dynamax Pokemon: Even without a type advantage, fully evolved Pokemon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.
Prepare your team, Trainers, and get ready to conquer Machop on Max Monday!
