Pokemon GO Max Monday: Conquer Machop on January 6th, 2025!
Pokemon GO's Max Monday events continue, offering exciting opportunities to battle and capture Dynamax Pokemon. This January 6th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, Machop, the Gen 1 Fighting-type, takes center stage at all Power Spots. This guide helps you prepare for this one-hour challenge.
During this event, Machop will dominate nearby Power Spots, giving you a limited window to battle and potentially catch this powerful Pokemon. Preparation is key, so understanding Machop's strengths and weaknesses is crucial.
Machop's Strengths and Weaknesses
Machop, a pure Fighting-type, boasts resistances to Rock, Dark, and Bug-type attacks. Conversely, it's vulnerable to Flying, Fairy, and Psychic-type moves. Choose your Pokemon wisely!
Top Pokemon Counters for Machop
Max Battles restrict you to using your own Dynamax Pokemon, limiting your options compared to standard Raids or PvP. 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: Charizard's Flying secondary type gives it an edge, coupled with its inherent power.
- 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! This limited-time event demands strategic thinking and powerful Pokemon. Good luck!
