Physical Sweeper Machoke (Guts)
Machoke is an outstanding Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Flame Orb will burn Machoke at the end of the turn which will activate Machoke's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Machoke is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Machoke a sweet boost.
♦ Close Combat is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Machoke's defense and special defense by 1 stage). ♦ Karate Chop is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Fighting-type move (high critical hit ratio). ♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Machoke is burn/poison/paralyzed). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. power doubles on dig). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Machoke this turn).
