Unveil the power of Machop, an exquisite Pokémon known for its Fighting typing! Machop is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. In the LC tier (Little Cup), it's a fierce competitor. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokémon games. Its only type-related weaknesses are Flying and Psychic. Want to master Machop's movesets? Dive into our detailed strategies below!
Machop is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Years before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (power doubles on dig). ♦ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Karate Chop is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Fighting-type move (high critical hit ratio). ♦ Low Kick is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Fighting-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Rock Slide is a physical 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to flinch the target).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
