Pokemon GO's Max Monday event returns on January 6th, 2025, featuring the Fighting-type Machop! This one-hour event (6 PM to 7 PM local time) sees Machop dominating Power Spots, offering a limited-time opportunity to battle and capture this Dynamax Pokemon. Preparation is key, so let's strategize.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses
Machop, a pure Fighting-type, resists Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks. However, it's significantly weak to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Avoid using Rock, Dark, or Bug-type Pokemon; prioritize Flying, Fairy, and Psychic types.
Optimal Machop Counters
Max Battles restrict you to your owned Dynamax Pokemon. While options are limited compared to standard Raids, several excellent choices exploit Machop's weaknesses:
-
Beldum/Metang/Metagross: Their Psychic secondary typing provides a significant advantage, making them top-tier choices.
-
Charizard: Its Flying secondary type gives it an edge, combined with Charizard's inherent power. Another excellent choice.
-
Other Powerful Options: While lacking a type advantage, powerful fully-evolved Pokemon like Dubwool, Greedent, Blastoise, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, or Gengar possess the raw power to overcome Machop.
Prepare your strongest Dynamax Pokemon with the right type advantage and get ready to conquer this Max Monday challenge! Remember, time is limited, so choose wisely and good luck!
