CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Machoke has built prodigious strength through training. It enjoys putting that strength to work for people by lifting heavy loads, and this work gives its muscles further exercise. Its belt is more than a distinguishing feature: it restrains energy that Machoke would struggle to control without it. Faced with a truly formidable opponent, it can remove the belt and unleash its full power. The Pokédex thus presents a helpful partner that must constantly regulate its own strength.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Moon says sculptors use Machoke as a model because of its musculature. Pokémon Sword notes that its belt controls its strength. The figure admired by artists therefore also represents a restraint necessary for its everyday activities.
