Machamp.
# 068.
Type: Fighting.
Ability: Guts / No armor.
Locations: Evolve Machoke.
Hi everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the
Week. Today we’re reviewing Machoke, the superpower Pokémon.
Machoke used to be one of the very best fighting
types. Today we have Heracross and Breloom so you could say
Machamp is no longer the big mean Pokémon it used to be. It has
high attack and decent defenses, but its speed isn’t even close
to good. So your best shot is to use Machamp with baton pass.
Guts is an amazing ability. Give more power to
the Pokémon and its almost insane.
Let’s move on to the move combinations I’ll start
for combinations for the GBA and then I’ll be introducing move
combinations for the new DP games…
GBA.
Machamp.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Leftovers.
EV´s: 252 Attack, 129 Defense, 129 Special
defense.
- Cross chop
- Rock slide
- Earthquake
- Bulk up
The physical sweeper is almost insane. Watch the
speed as I said earlier. It won’t be as fast as a Skarmory or
Blissey. So switch when needed.
DP.
First of all, remember the physical / special
attack consideration has changed for DP, so some of our reviews
have to change as well to fit the new criteria.
Machamp.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Leftovers.
EV´s: 252 Attack, 129 Defense, 129 Special
defense.
- Cross chop
- Stone edge
- Earthquake
- Bulk up
This is almost the same guy. But I have seen some
Machamps online using Rest and Sleep talk; I suppose it’d be a
good set too.
When should I use this Pokémon?
This is the perfect anti Bilssey. It can take out
some annoying Clefables, Rampardos or Puruglies.
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Blissey. A fast Alakazam might be good as well.
Staraptor will take it out without a doubt.
Bottom line:
Last week I said there are some Pokémon that are
still great and have been great for 8 years or so. Machamp is
nothing to be excited, it is good, but I can’t really compare it
with Lucario or Breloom.
Remember, If you have DP versions and want my
number please Send me an e-mail with yours to
reeve.ryu@gmail.com As soon as I can import my GBA Pokémon
to Diamond, I’ll be trading some pretty good Pokémon;
legendaries, starters, Feebas, and stuff like that. Thanks and
see you on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Rating:
3/5
Hope you enjoyed.
