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 capturing this Gen 1 Fighting-type by understanding its weaknesses and choosing effective counters.
Machop is a pure Fighting-type Pokémon. This means it resists Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks, but is vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Avoid using Rock, Dark, or Bug types against it.
Remember, Max Battles restrict you to using your own Dynamax Pokémon. Here are some excellent choices:
Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top contenders.
Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it an edge. Charizard's overall power also makes it a strong choice.
Other Powerful Dynamax Pokémon: While lacking a type advantage, powerful fully evolved Pokémon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar can still overcome Machop with superior strength and stats. Choose your strongest options.
Prepare your team wisely and make the most of your limited time during this Max Monday event!
