Info
| - Machoke was initially introduced as its predecessor Machop, in the Gym Battle against Sapphire. It was summoned by Brawly to fight against Sapphire's Toro, but was no match for the evolved Pokémon's strength. Later, Machoke appeared during the Gym Leader Conference at Fortree City, where it arrived alongside its Trainer. It was also used in Brawly's fight against Blaise, but was overcome by his signature heat-inducing illusions.
- Hariyama was first introduced as its pre-evolution, Makuhita, when Brawly fought against Sapphire in a Gym Battle. Midway through the battle, Makuhita evolved into a Hariyama. However, Hariyama was taken down by Sapphire's Combusken, which too had evolved from a Torchic. It was then used in brawly's battle against Blaise, where it was able to disperse his heat-induced illusions through a combination of brute force and wits. Hariyama is shown to be extremely powerful, as it was able to defeat Sapphire's Rono before it evolved.
