Chesnaught, Hawlucha, Incineroar, Solgaleo, Buzzwole, Emboar, Blastoise, and Mega-Swampert are some examples, to conclude not just Machoke is popular in the bara scene, even when
he has a dedicated amateur artist, with a great passion on Machoke.
I do have a quite of affection to Machoke, but I prefer Machamp much more, so I would rather post Machamp. The arms is mostly why of this.
