Machop is Back! Pokemon GO Community Day Classic Returns

Trainers, get ready to flex your Fighting-type muscles! Pokemon GO is bringing back Machop for a special Community Day Classic event on Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. This is your chance to catch, evolve, and power up this powerful Pokemon, and there are some awesome bonuses to help you out.

Event Bonuses: Catch, Evolve, and Power Up!

During the three-hour event window, you’ll enjoy these incredible bonuses:

• 3x Catch Stardust: Earn more Stardust for every Machop you catch, letting you power up your Pokemon faster.
• Increased Spawns: Machop will be appearing everywhere, giving you plenty of opportunities to catch ’em all.

But wait, there’s more! Some of these bonuses, like the increased spawns, will last until 10:00 PM local time, giving you even more time to evolve your Machop.

Exclusive Move: Payback for the Win!

Here’s the real kicker: evolve Machoke during the event or by May 31, 2025, at 10:00 PM local time, and you’ll get a Machamp with the powerful Dark-type Charged Attack, Payback! This move is super effective against Psychic and Ghost-type opponents, making your Machamp a true force to be reckoned with.

Shiny Machop? You Bet!

And of course, no Community Day is complete without the chance to snag a shiny! Machop, Machoke, and Machamp will all have a chance to sparkle, so keep your eyes peeled.
