CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Machop sees strength as something to work on. Despite its small size, it exercises eagerly and explores martial arts to improve. Training with its companions also builds its confidence. When it feels ready, it seeks a challenge from Makuhita: its energy lies not only in its muscles but also in its constant desire to surpass itself.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

This Machop's description shows it repeatedly lifting a Graveler to strengthen its whole body before mentioning its practice of different martial arts. Its only printed attack, Low Kick, deals 20 damage. This edition connects a concrete image of its training with a very simple hit.
