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.
• Machop and its evolutions have been in all Japan-centric regional Pokédexes.

Origin

Machop appears to be based on a bodybuilder.

Name origin

Machop may be a combination of macho (Spanish 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.

Wanriky is a combination of the on'yomi readings of 腕 wan (arm) and 力 riki (strength).
