PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Fighting Attacker:
Karate Chop
Brick Break
⚔️ Raids – As a first stage Pokémon, there's no value in bringing Machop into a raid battle.
🛡️ Gyms – It will easily be knocked out by a gust of wind, a simple brain teaser, or some glittery sparkles.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Karate Chop
Cross Chop
Brick Break
🔵 Great League - Machop maxes out at a possible 1445 CP, so will be trying to punch above its weight class. There are many more prominent Fighting contenders that you should bring into the ring.
🟡 Ultra League - Remember those wrestling matches where the little guy beats a bigger, overpowering opponent by using his speed? Yeah, speed isn't really a stat in Pokémon GO.
🟣 Master League - In the battle of minor deities versus one punchy lad, the minor deities will win every single time.
