Pokemon GO's Max Monday event returns on January 6th, 2025, featuring the Fighting-type Machop! This hour-long event (6 PM to 7 PM local time) sees Machop dominating Power Spots, offering a prime opportunity to battle and capture this Gen 1 Pokémon. To maximize your chances of success in this limited-time event, preparation is key. This guide details Machop's weaknesses and resistances, and suggests optimal Pokémon counters.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Machop, a pure Fighting-type, boasts resistances to Rock, Bug, and Dark-type attacks. Conversely, it's vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Keep this in mind when selecting your Dynamax Pokémon.
Top Machop Counters:
Max Battles restrict you to your owned Dynamax Pokémon, limiting your options compared to standard Raids. However, several strong choices offer a type advantage:
Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top contenders.
Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it an edge. Combined with Charizard's inherent power, it's another excellent choice.
Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, powerful fully evolved Pokémon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.
Prepare your strongest Dynamax Pokémon, exploit Machop's weaknesses, and make the most of this limited-time Max Monday event!
