Officer Magnezone's Exploration Team Records
Name: Hogan
Species: Machop
Category: Superpower Pokémon
Type: Fighting
Personality: Like most Fighting-type Pokémon, Hogan's main concern is training to get stronger. He relishes a good challenge and will often gladly take on the biggest opponent in a group for the sake of his team. He is very caring with a boisterous personality, but can be slightly overconfident at times. However, he realizes this and has been working to fix it. A hard worker, he has decided to forgo evolution until he has learned every move that there is for him to naturally learn.
Member of: Team Righteous
Signature moves: Low Kick, Karate Chop, Vital Throw, Revenge, Seismic Toss, Submission
Fighting style: Lacking any kind of ranged attack, Hogan is a strict infighter, specializing in grapples. He will often act as the spearhead of the team's attack and try to keep the powerful opponents busy until the rest can come in to help. A resilient fighter, he can take a large amount of physical punishment, making him a go-to member of Team Righteous for fights against large groups or strong opponents.
Strategy: Before joining Team Righteous, Hogan had little care for strategy. However, working alongside the other members of the team, he started attempting to be more mindful of which moves he used. For bigger opponents, he uses Low Kick to trip them up and make them fall to the ground. For light opponents or opponents where his moves will have little effect, he uses Seismic Toss to get some sure-fire damage. If he can grab opponents early, he will use Submission, at the cost of some recoil damage. Being a bulky fighter, he will sometimes take a hit and use Revenge to dish out more damage. He has been noted to sometimes tag-team with Savage, the member that joined after him.
