Request 56: Getting Help from Machoke

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

A guide on how to complete Request 56: Getting Help from "Machoke" IconMachoke in Pokémon Legends: ARCEUS (PLA).

Request 56: Getting Help from "Machoke" IconMachoke.

This quest is picked up from Bosley, found near the middle of the map in Cobalt Coastlands. He’ll ask you to show him a completed Pokédex entry for "Machoke" IconMachoke.

Where to Find Machoke in Arceus

"Machoke" IconMachoke is the evolution of "Machop" IconMachop. There are three spots where you could possible find a "Machoke" IconMachoke in Alabaster Icelands: west of Bonechill Wastes, north of Icebound Falls and east of Snowfall Hot Spring. You won’t find a whole lot of "Machoke" IconMachokes at each spawn point so you might need to rest at the camp or leave the map to make the "Machoke" IconMachokes respawn.

"Machoke" IconMachoke is a fighting-type Pokémon.

Machoke Research Tasks

Number defeated 1 3 8 20 40
Number you’ve defeated with Psychic-type moves 1 2 4 6 10
Times you’ve seen it use Bullet Punch 1 3 6 12 25

Times you’ve stunned it by using items 1 2 3 4 5

You can rack up the 10 research levels any way that you wish, but here’s a guide on one of the easiest and quickest ways to complete the Pokédex. You’ll want to focus on catching "Machoke" IconMachokes because you get double points for each milestone. Aim to catch 4 "Machoke" IconMachokes to make up 6 research points. You’ll also want to engage in battle with them more often than not, as a few of the research tasks rely on witnessing moves. This can be a bit tricky because you can’t really guarantee that the "Machoke" IconMachoke will use Bullet Punch or a strong style move. The bright side is that you only really need to witness one of each to hit the first milestones and get 2 research points.

Then you can get the remaining points from either defeating 1 "Machoke" IconMachoke with Psychic-type moves (1 point for ‘number defeated’ and 1 point for ‘number defeated with psychic-type moves’) or if you haven’t got any decent Psychic-type Pokémon then defeat 3 "Machoke" IconMachokes to get the final 2 points from hitting two milestones in the ‘Number defeated’ research task.

Once you’ve completed the Pokédex Entry for "Machoke" IconMachoke, return to Bosley and show him to complete the request and earn x3 Grit Gravel and x1 Aux Powerguard.
