I don't understand how more powerful Grass Knot changes the fact that both of them are excellent counters to Argho. Not to mention that Zapdos's Thunderbolt will only end up doing slightly less, thanks to Zapdos' higher Special Attack. I guess the 120 BP Grass Knot helps make a 2HKO on Arghonauts that invest heavily in Special Defense (it has to be pretty heavy investment, and it doesn't change the fact that Arghonaut can't really do much to Celebi and doesn't outspeed it either), but that's about it.

In retrospect, I guess the Grass Knot BP doesn't really matter that much.

Weightwise, this Pokemon reminds me a lot of Hariyama. Both bulky fighting types, and you can tell from the art and sprites. Hariyama weighs 559.5 lbs, so this can be something around 500 and both have a competitive and flavorful meaning to it.
Machamp, which has a much closer spread on stats to Argho than Hariyama (defensively, at any rate), and is also a bulky Fighting type is in the 100 BP group. :P But whatever!
