Machoke and its pre-evolution, Machop in the anime

Machoke has had many appearances, many more than its evolved and pre-evolved forms. It can usually be seen in Dojos and on contruction sites.

In Showdown at Dark City, Machoke is one of the Pokémon owned by one of the trainers at Yas Gym.

Two Machoke were present on the expedition crew in Shell Shock. They rescued Ash, Misty, Tracey and the crew from a run-away boulder heading for them.

In Stage Fight, a Machoke was part of a showboat stage show along with other Pokémon.

Danny owned a Machoke in Navel Maneuvers.

Kenzo owned a Machoke in Two Hits and a Miss

Wobbu-palooza featured a Machoke belonging to a Festival Crasher.

Chuck used a Machoke for the Gym Battle in Machoke, Machoke Man. Chuck's Machoke was defeated by Ash's Bayleef.

Emily had a Machop, Machoke, and Machamp chase after her run away Psyduck in Sitting Psyduck.

A Machoke was also owned by a demolition crew (which was changed into a construction crew due to Ritchie's changing the past) in Celebi and Joy.

Several Machoke and Machamp appeared in DP057 as construction workers.

In the manga

Machoke has its own round in the Pokémon Special manga, Bulbasaur, Come Home!. Here, it protects the Viridian Gym from intruders attacking Red and Professor Oak, but Bulbasaur defeated it with a SolarBeam.

Machoke was seen again in Template:PSV as one of Brawly's Pokémon; it is unconfirmed if this Machoke evolved from the Machop he had in Template:PSV. Machoke attempted to fight the fiery illusions in Template:PSV at the Lilycove Museum, but failed miserably.

Trivia

"Kung-Foo" was Machoke's prototype name.

Origin

Machoke appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler.

Name origin

Machoke's name may be a combination of choke, as in chokehold, and macho, which is Spanish for overly masculine or chauvanist. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like Mr. Mime, this is not reflected in the gender distribution. Goriky is a corruption of 剛力 gōriki, herculean strength.

In other languages

• German: Maschok
• French: Machopeur - Macho has a similar meaning as in English. The remainder could come from chopeur someone who "nabs" people, or simply from peur, meaning fear.
• Korean: 근육몬 Geunyukmon
