Shield
It shows off its muscles to Machoke and other Gurdurr. If it fails to measure up to the other Pokémon, it lies low for a little while.
Sword
With strengthened bodies, they skillfully wield steel beams to take down buildings.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Omega Ruby
They strengthen their bodies by carrying steel beams. They show off their big muscles to their friends.
White
This Pokémon is so muscular and strongly built that even a group of wrestlers could not make it budge an inch.
