Read more ↓Machoke, the Superpower Pokémon, is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Machop and evolves into Machamp when traded. Known for its incredible strength and muscular physique, Machoke is often depicted wearing a power-suppressing belt that prevents its full power from running wild. This belt is a crucial element of its lore, as it signifies its immense, barely contained strength. In the games, Machoke is a formidable mid-game Pokémon, often found in caves and mountainous regions, reflecting its rugged nature. Its Fighting typing gives it an advantage against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel types, while being weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy types. In the anime, Machoke often appears as a worker Pokémon, using its strength for construction or heavy lifting, and sometimes as a trainer's loyal battle partner. Its evolution line, culminating in the four-armed Machamp, is iconic for representing pure physical power in the Pokémon world, making them popular choices for trainers seeking strong attackers. Its design, reminiscent of a professional wrestler, has cemented its place in popular culture as a symbol of raw power and determination.
