3131 Machop's dual specialty is its standout feature in Pokopia:
3232  
3333 Build: Machop can lead construction projects when assigned as a helper to building kits. This includes Pokemon Center Rebuilding Kits, dwellings, and other large structures.Gather: Machop can pick up materials and place them into Community Boxes, consolidating dropped resources from Litter-specialty Pokemon and other sources.

3535 This dual role makes Machop a top pick for ambitious settlements where you want a single Pokemon that contributes to both active construction and passive resource management.

3737 Connection to Machoke
3838  
3939 Machop is the pre-evolution of Machoke, which teaches Ditto the Strength transformation in Rocky Ridges. While Pokemon do not evolve in Pokopia in the traditional sense, both Machop and Machoke can be befriended independently. Machoke has the Build and Bulldoze specialties (different from Machop's Build and Gather). This reflects the canon connection to construction work.
