Machop’s Community Day in Pokémon Go officially starts for select regions around of the world on January 16, at 11 AM to 5 PM, local time. Those who purchase the Machop Community Day ticket, or purchased the Kanto Tour ticket, will gain access to an exclusive series of special research tasks and rewards during the event. These rewards will make it easier to effectively evolve Machop to its final form, Machamp, giving you access to its exclusive move for the day, payback.
We crunched how effective payback was for Machamp, and we compared everything with its best moveset. Overall, for any Pokémon Go player, the Machop Community day is a worthwhile event.
