This article is over 3 years old and may contain outdated information.

Having been around since Generation I (Pokemon Red, Green, Blue), Machop is still one of the fan-favorites Fighting Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. You can easily encounter Machop at Route 207, 208, 210, and Mount Coronet. Meanwhile, in the Pokemon Hideaway area, you can find it at Whiteout Cave, Grassland Cave, Spacious Cave, and Sunlit Cavern. But how can you evolve Machop into Machoke in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Machop Evolution

Machop Evolution, Machoke

To evolve Machop into Machoke in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, all you need to do is to level it up to level 28. However, you’ll need to trade the Machoke with someone else if you want to acquire a Machamp. While it’s not as strong as its evolution, if armed with Payback and Dynamic Punch, it can easily become a force to be reckoned with thanks to Dynamic Punch’s confusion effect. Read on below for more details about Machoke.
