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.
