Machamp (Japanese: カイリキー Kairiky) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Machoke when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord. It is the final form of Machop.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Machamp can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Machamp if it has the Gigantamax Factor.

Biology

Machamp Shove

Machamp is a humanoid Pokémon with four well-muscled arms. It has bluish-gray skin, red eyes, and large, pale, yellow lips. On its head, there are three brown ridges right above its eyes. It has two arms on each side of its body: a pair located in the normal position, and another pair directly above that attaches on the top of the shoulders. It has black markings that resemble briefs and wears a golden power-save belt that resembles a championship belt. Its legs have considerable muscle tone, and its feet have two toes each.

Machamp are said to know every martial arts style in the world. It punches extremely quickly, throwing 500 punches a second. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. In Generation VII, Strength was its signature move. Because of its four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles and pin all of its foe's limbs down at once. Its arms also allow it to attack and defend simultaneously. The four arms react much faster than Machamp can think. However, it has poor dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms becoming tangled. The belt it wears restricts its muscle activity, but it can cause consequences if removed. Being the result of an evolution via trading, Machamp is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in the mountains. In Alola, Machamp is used as a Ride Pokémon called Machamp Shove, where Marchamp carries humans on its arms while moving large rocks out fo the way.

In Generation II, Vital Throw was its signature move.

Forms

Machamp has a Gigantamax form.

As Gigantamax Machamp, it swells to enormous proportions and acquires immeasurable strength. Due to Gigantamaxing, its arms are filled with Gigantamax energy, making its punches as hard as bomb blasts. Its bluish-gray skin becomes darker. The ridges on its head are also darker, with the middle ridge becoming longer. Its eyes become bright yellow. The neck extends with black markings. The four fists are now dark orange, with orange-yellow veins connecting to two orange spots on each arm. The belt extends with several more notches. The black markings now extend down the legs and stop above the ankles. Three red clouds circle around its waist.

Gigantamax Machamp is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Chi Strike.

Trivia

• In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Machamp was originally known as "Ju-Doh". This name is a corruption of judo, a fighting style.
• Machamp could be seen as a counterpart to Alakazam. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, they reach their final stage by trading, level up at a Medium Slow rate, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Machamp excels at the Attack stat, while Alakazam excels at the Special Attack stat. Their evolutionary lines are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in Oreburgh City will trade her Abra for a Machop. Additionally, their base friendship is the same at 70, and all Pokémon in both of their respective evolutionary lines are in the Human-Like Egg Group. Finally, while Machamp has a Gigantamax form, Alakazam has a Mega Evolution.
  • Machamp also can be seen as a counterpart to the Conkeldurr evolutionary line. Both of them are Fighting-type Pokémon whose Attack is their highest stat. They both have below average speed. They share the same base stat total. They both have same gender ratio, they both have three-evolutionary stages, and they both reach their respective final-evolutionary stage through trading.
  • Besides Alakazam and Conkeldurr, Machamp can also be seen as a counterpart to Gengar. All four Pokémon can be obtained through evolution induced by trade. Gengar and Machamp are also capable of Gigantamaxing starting in Generation VIII and belong to two Gym Leaders in the Galar region, depending on which game is played; Machamp belongs to Bea in Pokémon Sword, while Gengar belongs to Allister in Pokémon Shield.
• Machamp's Japanese name, Kairiky, is similar to the Japanese name of the move Strength.
  • Additionally, in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Machamp shares its name with Strength; 怪力 Guàilì and 怪力 Gwaailihk respectively.

Origin

Machamp appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler. Seeing as it has more than two arms and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps Shiva or Vishnu.

Gigantamax Machamp, appearance-wise, resembles the general depictions of the giants from the Ultra series, especially with its eyes and head ornaments. These particular warriors are protectors of the universe and often could only be gigantic for a limited time (much like Dynamax as a whole).

Name origin

Machamp may be a combination of macho (manly; Spanish and Portuguese for male) and champ.

Kairiky may be derived from 怪力 kairiki (superhuman strength), which is the name of its category in Japanese.
