MACHOKE’s boundless power is very dangerous, so it wears a belt that suppresses its energy.

“Power creep has gone so far that base set Machamp is weak enough to be reproduced as an uncommon mid evolution. Let’s create a mid stage evolution of the same line that’s roughly as powerful as it, but without the high HP, retreat cost ,and 4 energy attack associated with fully evolved pokemon.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea. Let’s drill it in further by giving it an otherwise identical 3 energy version of Machamp’s attack, Seismic Toss”
“Great Idea. Print it”
