Machop Pokémon GO Community Day Classic: Hundo CPs & tips and tricks

Get ready for a second chance at Machop Community Day in Pokémon GO.

During the upcoming Community Day event for Pokémon GO, players will have an opportunity to encounter Machop. This means they can try to catch a Shiny version of Machop, and if successful, they’ll be able to obtain a Machamp with the unique move, Payback.

Mahcop Community Day Classic takes place Saturday, May 24 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.

Picking Machop for the next Pokémon GO Community Day Classic is a thoughtful decision, as it coincides with the upcoming release of Gigantamax Machamp. This Community Day event offers increased chances for shiny Machops, but its real appeal lies in the opportunity to accumulate plenty of candy and candy XL. Since you’ll need a good amount of this candy to develop Max Moves and power up your Gigantamax Machamp, it’s a perfect chance to stockpile. Additionally, there’s a fantastic 3x Stardust bonus!

So, as much as ever, this is a great chance to meet up with your friends and play some Pokémon GO.

Machamp Best Pokémon GO Moveset

During the Machop Community Day Classic event, trainers will have an opportunity to acquire Payback as a charged attack for Machamp. Nevertheless, Payback might not be the most effective move for Machamp or Shadow Machamp in battles (PvP) or raids, so this isn’t necessarily a significant advantage.

The best moveset for Machamp is:

  • Karate Chop
  • Dynamic Punch (Raids) or Cross Chop (PvP)
  • Stone Edge

This also applies to Shadow Machamp.

What Field Research have guaranteed special Backgrounds during Pokémon GO Community Day?

As a seasoned gamer, I’ve noticed that certain Field Research tasks guarantee a unique encounter with a highlighted Pokémon against a special event backdrop. Here are some tasks you should be on the lookout for and ensure you complete:

1. “Search for a Pokémon in the wild” – This task often leads to an exciting featured Pokémon encounter.
2. “Take a snapshot of 3 different types of Pokémon” – Completing this task could result in a special event background.
3. “Catch 5 Pokémon of the same kind” – Finishing this task might reward you with a unique encounter featuring a highlighted Pokémon.
4. “Battle in a Gym 3 times” – Successfully completing this task may lead to an exclusive featured Pokémon encounter.
5. “Help another Trainer battle at a Gym” – Assisting another Trainer can sometimes result in a special event background or a featured Pokémon encounter.

  • Win a five-star or higher Raid
  • Trade a Pokémon
  • Complete a Party Challenge

These tasks share the same chance of occurrence with random encounters, regardless of whether they’re finished past the Community Day.

Machop Community Day Classic: Pokémon GO Tips and Tricks

On Pokémon GO’s Community Day featuring Machop, you’ll receive an exceptional bonus: Stardust is tripled. If you use a Starpiece, this increases to 1.5 times more Stardust! This simplifies the goal for this Community Day event significantly – just keep catching Machops!

Unfortunately, there aren’t any candy bonuses for capturing Pokémon during this particular event. But don’t worry! You can still accumulate additional Candy, Candy XL, and XP by utilizing a Fighting-type Mega Level 3 Mega Pokémon in combat instead.

Here are the Pokémon you can Mega Evolve to get extra Candy, Candy XL and XP for catching Machop:

  • Heracross
  • Blaziken
  • Medicham
  • Lopunny
  • Lucario
  • Gallade

Don’t forget some other easy tips:

  • Don’t catch Pokémon before the event starts. These Pokémon can turn into Machop.
  • Spin as many Pokéstops as possible, to get event specific Field Research as well as extra resources.
  • Don’t activate Lures’ or Incense till the event starts to get the extra time.
  • Have fun!
