Trivia

"Kung-Fooo" 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 to the English, the remainder could come from chopeur someone who "nabs" people, or simply from peur, meaning fear.
• Korean: 근육몬 Geunyukmon
