Author : Violet Feb 11,2025

Pokemon GO's Max Monday event returns! This guide prepares you for the January 6th, 2025 Machop takeover. For one hour (6 PM to 7 PM local time), Machop will dominate Power Spots, offering a limited window to battle and capture this Gen 1 Fighting-type. Preparation is key!

Pokemon GO Max Monday Machop

Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses:

Machop, a pure Fighting-type, resists Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks. However, it's vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Avoid using Rock, Dark, and Bug types; prioritize Flying, Fairy, and Psychic.

Optimal Machop Counters:

Max Battles restrict you to your owned Dynamax Pokemon. Here are top choices:

  • Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Excellent choices, boasting a Psychic secondary type for added advantage. A top tier option.
  • Charizard: Its Flying secondary type provides a significant advantage. Another top tier pick.
  • Other Powerful Dynamax Pokemon: While lacking a type advantage, powerful fully evolved Pokemon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar can still overcome Machop with superior power.

Remember, time is limited! Choose wisely and prepare for a successful Machop Max Monday!
