Machop has three hard ridges on its head. The "Machop-Timburr" has a single head spike, and Tyrogue has three head spikes. You can probably see that it would make more sense for "Machop-Timburr"'s single head spike to stem from three head spikes rather than three hard ridges. Also the evolved form of "Tyrogue-ancient-Machop" leads nicely into both the "Hitmon Ancestor" and "Machoke-Conkeldurr". And additionally, I think that Hitmon and Timburr are more thoroughly domesticated than Machop.

Would you explain why you believe the Hitmon and Timburr families are more domesticated than Machop/the Machop family?

Sure. It seems clear from their appearances that they have been pressured a lot more by artificial selection than Machop has. Timburr has been very heavily modified for use in construction works. Hitmon has been modified, as discussed on the forum, to excel in very specific forms of martial arts. Machop on the other hand seems more generic, its only humanlike feature is its powerbelt and black undergarment. The power belt is supposedly there to help regulate its huge power. I suppose humans bred it with that to help it reach full potential.

Thanks. I just added them to a section of your chart so they should fit in pretty easily.
