Pokémon GO Machop Community Day – Event Schedule, Shiny Machop Odds, Bonus XP & Best Machamp Moveset
• Hot Trendy News
EVENT SNAPSHOT
Pokémon GO brings back the fan-favorite Fighting-type with the Machop Community Day Classic on Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time. Expect an ocean of Machop spawns in every park, mall, and campus you visit.
KEY EVENT BONUSES
• 3× Catch Stardust
• 3-hour Incense and Lure Modules (excluding Daily Adventure Incense)
• Photobomb surprises (up to five)
• Increased Shiny Machop odds—roughly 1 in 25 during Community Days
• Payback Machamp evolution window runs until May 31 at 10 p.m. local time
EXCLUSIVE MOVE: PAYBACK
Evolve Machoke into Machamp any time between 2 p.m. on May 24 and 10 p.m. on May 31 to obtain the Dark-type Charged Attack Payback (Trainer Battles 110 power; Gyms/Raids 95 power). This coverage move flips bad match-ups against Psychic- and Ghost-types, giving Machamp fresh relevance in Great and Ultra League metas.
PRE-GRIND CHECKLIST
1. Clear storage: keep ~200 free slots for rapid catches.
2. Stock up: 200+ Ultra Balls, 100+ Pinap Berries, 6+ Star Pieces.
3. Mega-Evolve a high-level Fighting-type (Heracross, Blaziken, Medicham, Lopunny, Lucario, or Gallade) for bonus Machop candy and XL drop-rate boosts.
4. Snapshot your buddy before the event so daily hearts reset during play.
5. Arrive 15 min early, restart the app at the top of the hour to avoid spawn glitches.
100 % IV CHEAT SHEET
Wild level 30 (non-weather) perfect Machop: CP 1096
Weather-boosted level 35 perfect Machop (Cloudy): CP 1187
Use these numbers for quick appraisal while fast-catching.
ULTRA-FAST SHINY CHECK STRATEGY
• Enable “Poké Ball Plus” style quick-catch: hold the berry, swipe, tap run.
• Shiny sparkle appears on the map—no need to enter the encounter.
• Prioritize low-CP shinies for cheaper second moves.
PAID & FREE RESEARCH
• $1.99 Special Research grants Rare Candy XL, a Premium Raid Pass, and multiple Machop encounters with a seasonal postcard background.
• Free week-long Timed Research awards another Special-background Machop and extra Shiny chances—finish before May 31.
• Field Research at PokéStops: “Catch 3 Machop” rewards extra Machop, Stardust, or Great Balls.
ITEM BOX VALUE
1 350 PokéCoins: 50 Ultra Balls, 5 Super Incubators, 1 Elite Charged TM, 5 Lucky Eggs.
480 PokéCoins: 30 Ultra Balls, 1 Incense, 3 Super Incubators, 1 Lure Module.
If you’re low on storage or incubators, the 480-coin bundle is the clean value pick.
POST-EVENT POWER-UPS
• Trade for lower Stardust costs and a shot at Lucky Machops—ideal for PvE Machamp with Payback.
• Raid, GBL, and Rocket battles reward extra Stardust on event day; pop a Star Piece before claiming stacks.
• Convert extra Shinies into XL Candy via transfer—remember to favorite a trio for the family line.
WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SKIP
Machamp remains a top-tier Fighting attacker in raids and a PvP staple. Payback widens its coverage, and 3× Stardust is one of the best bonuses all year. Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran chasing XL Candy, this Community Day Classic is a must-play.
See you under the Cloudy weather boost—may your Machop be Shiny and your Stardust gains colossal!
