Game data
Abilities
- Guts
It’s so gutsy that having a status condition boosts the Pokémon’s Attack stat by 50%. Being burned does not halve the damage dealt by the Pokémon’s physical moves.
- No Guard
The Pokémon employs no-guard tactics to ensure incoming and outgoing attacks always land. Raises the likelihood of Double Battles while this Pokémon is on the field.
- SteadfastHidden
The Pokémon’s determination boosts its Speed stat when it flinches.
When the Pokémon has a status condition, its Speed stat is boosted by 50%. Being paralyzed does not lower the Pokémon’s Speed stat.

Unlock costs
Candy needed for a cost-3 starter:
- Passive ability
- 35 🍬
- Cost reductions
- 20 / 50 🍬
- Same-species egg
- 25 🍬
- The price only drops once you have hatched enough Machop eggs: 22 🍬 after 20 hatches, 18 🍬 after 40 hatches, 12 🍬 after 80 hatches.
- Friendship needed per candy
- 75
Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Machop needs 75 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.

Esca27 days agoDecent Fighting type that doesn't stand out a lot. No Guard+Fissure is its main niche that can breeze through a lot of regular waves and non-boss mons on trainers, although Guts makes the transition to GMax easier if you wanna run that. Guts sets are typically worse Conkeldurrs (sidegrade if gmax), though it has some extra coverage options. Without unlocks it struggles even more to stand out. Again mostly a worse Conk, though levelup Dual Chop lets it hit some things on the switch. Decent wildcatch in Endless to fuse No Guard onto something (kinda slow tho) but not worth it as starter ever.
