Machonyan is an orange cat Yo-kai with a dull pink nose and dull blue inner-ear coloring. He has black eyes and a white muzzle to match his chest and paw tips. He wears a dull gold tiger mask with a gem centered on the forehead that covers the upper part of his face. His collar is gold with a turquoise sphere attached to it. His tail flames are dull blue. He wears black and gray pants with boots.
Like Robonyan F and Sailornyan, Machonyan can only be found by players who have the digital copies of Psychic Specters and use the special download code found on the receipt to obtain the Macho Bell needed to reveal him.
After obtaining the Bell, Machonyan can be found in the Springdale Elementary School Gym. He can be battled once a day and befriended multiple times infinitely.
The only way to get Machonyan in Yo-kai Watch 3 is to insert either the 5-star Coin or the Souvenir Coin into the Crank-a-Kai. As it is Crank-a-Kai, the chance of getting Machonyan is random.

Etymology[]
His name is a combination of 'macho' meaning strong, muscular and 'nyan' sound a cat makes.
"Tigrenyan" is a combination of tigre (tiger), very possibly referencing to Tiger Mask in the Nickelodeon series "El Tigre,"and nyan.
Origin[]
His appearance, as well as his bio, could be inspired by the manga series Tiger Mask (1968 – 1971), which features a wrestler with a mask in the shape of a tiger's head, which would later inspire a inheritable wrestling title in 1980. In both fiction and in the ring, Tiger Mask started off as a feared heel in the United States, but became a face after returning to Japan when a young boy said that he wanted to be a villain like Tiger Mask when he grew up.
In the history of wrestling, there have been 6 wrestlers who have donned the title of "Tiger Mask," with the current Tiger Mask being Tiger Mask W/Kota Ibushi.
Trivia[]
Although shown in the end credits of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls, Machonyan is a Psychic Specters exclusive Yo-kai.
Machonyan's Medallium voice has a robotic echo effect as if speaking through a microphone.
In the manga, he is actually Jibanyan in a wrestler's costume.
