Makuhita (マクノシタ Makunoshita in Japan, and Makuhita in both France and Germany) is a Fighting Pokémon from the Pokémon series of games. It is listed as Pokémon #296 in the National Pokédex, and #48 in the Hoenn Pokédex.

Its name relates to a rank of sumo wrestling, Makushita. It is speculated that the "s" in Makushita was dropped in order to avoid pronunciation mishaps when the pokémon was brought to America. It is also possible that the name was changed in order to remove the word "shit" from the pokémon's name.

Availability

Makuhita can be caught in the wild in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald, and also Pokémon Colosseum. In Pokemon XD, one could be snagged from Cipher Peon Torkin.

Information

Makuhita will never give up hope, and will tenaciously attack its foes no matter how many times it is knocked down. It stores energy to be used for future evolution. Like Machop, Makuhita likes to build up its strength by training every day - if you hear huge rumbles while walking through a cave, it is probably a Makuhita out training.

Makuhita's appearance is inspired by the traditional Japanese sumo wrestler, usually portrayed as short and very fat. Its hands look like boxing gloves, and it has red rings on its cheeks. It has a blue bib-like marking on its belly, and always has a bowtie head shape.
