How to Find Machoke in "Pokemon Sapphire"
In the "Pokemon" video games, Machoke is a human-shaped Pokemon that spends its time building its muscles. It wears a special belt that aids in controlling its strength. As a Fighting-type Pokemon, Machoke specializes in physical attacks such as Seismic Toss and Karate Chop. It also possesses a resistance to Rock-, Bug- and Dark-type attacks. To harness Machoke's power in "Pokemon Sapphire," you must capture a Machop and train it until it evolves.

Tips & Warnings
The only other Pokemon you'll find on Route 112 is Numel, a camel-like creature.
You can also find Machop in Fiery Path, which is a tunnel on Route 112, and Jagged Path, a pass that leads down the side of Mt. Chimney.
To evolve Machoke into Machamp, its final evolution, trade the Pokemon to a different game file. Once the trade is complete, the evolution will begin. All of Machamp's attributes are slightly higher than Machoke's.
If you teach Machoke the Strength or Rock Smash techniques, it can assist you in your travels by clearing boulders that block your path.
