Pokemon GO Max Monday: Conquer Machop on January 6th, 2025!
Pokemon GO's dynamic seasonal events continue with Max Monday, a weekly event featuring a different Dynamax Pokemon. This week, on January 6th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, get ready to battle Machop at every Power Spot! This guide will help you prepare for this one-hour challenge.
During this limited-time event, Machop will dominate all nearby Power Spots, offering a chance to add this Gen 1 Fighting-type to your collection. Knowing Machop's strengths and weaknesses is key to victory.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses
Machop, a pure Fighting-type Pokemon, resists Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks. Conversely, it's vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Avoid using Rock, Dark, or Bug-type Pokemon and prioritize those with Flying, Fairy, or Psychic typing.
Top Pokemon Counters for Machop
Max Battles restrict you to using your own Dynamax Pokemon, limiting your options. However, several excellent choices can exploit Machop's weaknesses:
- Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top contenders.
- Charizard: Its Flying secondary type offers a type advantage, combined with Charizard's inherent power, making it another excellent choice.
- Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, fully evolved Pokemon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.
Prepare your team, Trainers, and get ready to dominate this Max Monday Machop event!
