Machoke (Japanese: ゴーリキー Goriky) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Machoke appear as larger, tailless Machops with red marks along their muscular arms. The marks actually look like places where the skin has stretched apart because it can barely contain its huge muscles. Machoke wear what looks like black underwear for better movement and a large, golden belt with a little red P on the buckle.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
They are very strong, and can lift heavy objects with one finger. They wear a power-save belt to hold back their unstoppable strength.
Behavior
Strong and capable, Machoke helps people with labor.
Habitat
Machoke live in mountains, in foreboding areas where they can hone their skills. They can also be found in urban areas, as they are often employed for manual labor.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
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 construction 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.
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.
Emily had a Machop, Machoke, and Machamp chase after her run away Psyduck in Sitting Psyduck.
Several Machoke and Machamp appeared in Bibarel Gnaws Best! as construction workers.
It was revealed in Lost Leader Strategy! that Maylene had a Machoke that was used in a gym battle against Paul and in DP068 wherein Machoke was defeated by Ash's Staravia.
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.
- In its Generation I sprite, Machoke's head 'ridges' reached to its back. This seems to have been dropped. Also, the medallion on its belt has been greatly reduced in later sprites. In addition to this, Machoke's color has changed from green to purple. It also appears that Machoke use to have had its left eyelid half closed before Yellow, possibly to show that it got into a fight previously or that Machoke is just a mindless brute.
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 chauvinist. 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
- Chinese: 豪力 - meaning "Heroic Strength"
