Machop (Japanese: ワンリキー Wanriky) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Machoke starting at level 28, which evolves into Machamp when traded.
Biology
Machop is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that has gray skin. It has three brown ridges on top of its head, large red eyes, and a relatively flat face. On either side of its chest are three, thin, rib-like stripes. Its feet appear to have no toes, while its hands have five fingers. It has a short, stubby tail. Machop's entire body is covered with muscles that will never tire or cramp. With these muscles, it can lift many times its own body weight. It trains by lifting Graveler every day and becomes more dedicated the more its muscles grow. It spends its time and energy practicing all different forms of martial arts and trying to improve its abilities. Once it feels confident, it challenges Makuhita to a battle. Machop lives in the mountains. In the past, it claimed Low Kick and Vital Throw as signature moves.

Trivia
- Before the release of the English versions of Pokémon Red and Blue, Machop was known as "Kara-Tee". This name is a corruption of karate, a fighting style.
Origin
Machop appears to be based on a bodybuilder. It also possesses some reptilian features, including three plate-like crests on its head and a dull-gray coloration.
Name origin
Machop may be a combination of macho (Spanish and Portuguese for overly male or chauvinist) and chop. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to Mr. Mime, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, Machop's evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male. The name may also be somewhat-related to the synapsid moschops, which has a vaguely similar-looking face.
Wanriky is a combination of the on'yomi readings of 腕 wan (arm) and 力 riki (strength).
