There is no way to evolve Machoke without tradingat all, but there isa bugin Gen 4 that allows you to evolve Machoke by trading a different Pokemon on the GTS. This is helpful because the GTS never requires to you make a direct connection to another player, which is the problem for a lot of people.
To use the bug, deposit Machoke on the GTS for trade, and request something impossible + valuable in return (ex: level 9 Darkrai) to prevent it from being traded. Then, seek a Pokemon on the GTS and successfully trade for it. Then, return to the deposited Machoke and withdraw it. This process will cause Machoke to evolve, even though it was never traded.

Until Legends: Arceus, the only way to evolve a Machoke was through a trade. Because Machamp is not available to catch in the wild, it is completely unobtainable without trading.
