Jul 19, 2019 · Hi, I made a Machamp by evolving the strongest Machop I could find twice. At 2246 CP, it's the strongest Pokémon I have. It came with Counter and Dynamic Punch. I spent 50 Machop candies teaching it a new move and got Rock Slide. But I don't think that's a good addition because it's a rock-type move, and Machamp is only a fighting type.

Against a Bite/Crunch Tyranitar, a Lucario needs to be level 35 in order to perform similarly to a level 40 Machamp.

Mar 27, 2024 · For PVE, I did a real world test and shadow Machamp is literally 20% faster taking down a Blissey than regular Machamp. Comparing with all level 40s, hundo regular Machamp took about 25 seconds to take down a 2100 CP Blissey. Hundo Lucario took 23 seconds. 84% shadow Machamp took 19 seconds.

Dec 27, 2022 · In the case of Sword/Shield, you could "have it" (well, not No Guard Fissure Machamp anyways), but to use the pokemon in official tournaments or whatnot, you had to make it battle ready, which essentially resets it to its normal level up moveset and deletes anything that it might uniquely have from a previous generation or an event.

Jan 14, 2021 · Machamp usually runs best with Cross Chop, a very spammy move that, combined with Machamp's high Attack, can generate extreme shield pressure. Its other Fighting moves have some merit too, especially in higher leagues; I have continually advocated NOT using Cross Chop in Master League, for example, and instead running Dynamic Punch or Close ...

Got myself a hacked Machamp, so I too thought I would use it in Max raids for the boost. Things were going fine until this one raid I had with only one other person. They kept attacking me and one-shoting me (they had a psychic) and we ended up losing.

Aug 30, 2016 · Machamp would be really good if it weren't for the fact that both of his fast attack options (Karate Chop and Bullet Punch) are among two of the worst fast moves in the game. In addition to this, even though he gets access to what's technically the highest DPS charge move in the game, it's important to remember that Cross Chop really isn't all ...

Dec 18, 2020 · R1: Machamp's gigantamax is probably the worst in the game, so if anything, with pure fighting moves, base machamp hits harder, both with dynamic punch, and with close combat. 90BP capped max fighting move that doesnt raise attack is very awful, and while coverage gets boosted, odds are that they wont help out machamp besides the power.
