Machop's Pokemon Moon Pokedex Entry: "With its superhuman strength, it's able to throw a hundred people all at the same time. Its strength comes from lifting Graveler every day."
On its profile, though, the Lifting Strength is: Class 5 (Capable of learning the move Strength, can lift Gravelers, which weight over 200 kg, like they are barbells, can throw 100 adults with ease, and can carry a sumo wrestler on its shoulders)
Class 5 ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 kilograms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight The only country where the average weight is below 50 kg is Bangladesh, with 49.591 kilograms. At the highest, there's Micronesia, where the average is 87.398 kilograms.
100 * 49.591 = 4,959.1. 100 * 87.398 = 8,739.8. Even with the VERY LOWEST, the effective Lifting Strength is probably well above 5,000 kg, since all 100 such humans are being thrown at once.
And at the highest, a yield of nearly 9,000 kg (Before taking into account it's a throw & not just a lift.) is WELL into Class 10, which ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 kilograms.
So why isn't Machop Class 10?
