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.
Danny owned a Machoke in Navel Maneuvers.
Kenzo owned a Machoke in Two Hits and a Miss
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.
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.

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 as in English. The remainder could come from chopeur someone who "nabs" people, or simply from peur, meaning fear.
- Korean: 근육몬 Geunyukmon
