Superpower Pokémon

Fighting

Strategy Overview

Machamp's ability to OHKO Salamence and Skarmory--if it gets lucky with critical hits and Cross Chop's miss rate--is quite a plus. However, Cross Chop's low PP and subpar accuracy hinder Machamp significantly. While it is an easy switch-in to many Pokemon, Machamp is so slow that it can't really sweep.
