Competitive Strategy
Machamp is a hard-hitting pure Fighting attacker. No Guard ensures Dynamic Punch and Stone Edge never miss, while 130 Attack makes its Close Combat and Ice Punch hit like trucks. Bullet Punch gives it priority to pick off weakened foes. Guts can turn a status condition into a power boost. Its pure Fighting typing means it is weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy, so pair it with partners that cover those matchups and use pivots to bring it in safely.
