Strategy Overview

When you look at Machamp, you might struggle to find a reason to use it over Conkeldurr, which has higher Attack and access to Mach Punch. However, Machamp has the ability No Guard combined with Dynamic Punch, which lets it confuse its target without fail. Machamp does, however, still have quite a few problems. Its Speed is very mediocre, meaning Machamp struggles to outspeed key threats even under Tailwind, though it is rather solid for Trick Room. It is also weak to Fairy, one of the best offensive types in the metagame. While It does have a solid Attack stat and somewhat good natural bulk, it can still struggle to do anything due to its poor defensive typing and its Speed, often leaving it vulnerable to attacks from both opposing Pokemon before it can make a move.
