Machoke
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Machoke is a fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 405 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 45) and a physical attacking profile. Its Guts ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Machoke. Build around what Machoke actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
