Trivia
- "Kara-Tee" was Machop's original English name. This name is a corruption of karate, a fighting style.
- Machop and its evolutions have been in all regional Pokédexes.
- Despite their classifications, Machop and its evolutions could not learn Superpower until Pokémon Platinum.
- Despite having a tail, it cannot learn Iron Tail; this however, would be right as its evolution doesn't have a tail.
- In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, it's mentioned that Machop can control Aura into orbs. However, there doesn't seem to be a connection between Machop and Lucario (save for both being fighting) and Machop can't learn Aura Sphere in the games.
- Machop is one of 5 Kanto Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in Generation III. Its former base experience was 88. The others are Abra, Geodude, Omanyte, and Kabuto.
Origin
Machop appears to be based on a bodybuilder.
Name origin
Machop's name may be a combination of chop and macho, which is Spanish for overly masculine or chauvinist. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like Mr. Mime, this is not reflected in the gender distribution (even though the females are still rarer than males). Wanriky is a corruption of 腕力 wanryoku (the 力 is pronounced riki in some words), physical strength.
