Max Machop Battle Tactics Revealed on Max Mondays

by Audrey Feb 10,2025

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-time opportunity to battle and capture this Gen 1 Pokémon. Preparation is key, so let's strategize.

Pokemon GO Max Monday Machop

Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses:

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

Optimal Machop Counters for Max Battles:

Remember, Max Battles restrict you to your owned Dynamax Pokémon. Here are top choices:

Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them a top tier choice.
Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it the edge, coupled with its generally high offensive power.
Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, powerful fully-evolved Pokémon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar can still overcome Machop with superior stats and moves.

Maximize your limited time during this event by utilizing these powerful Pokémon and exploiting Machop's weaknesses. Good luck, Trainers!
