It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machoke}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Machop}}.

==Biology==

Machamp punches extremely fast, throwing five hundred punches a second. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. Because of its four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles and pin all of its foe's limbs at once. However, it has poor dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms becoming tangled. It is a rash Pokémon that rushes into action without forethought. Machamp can be found living in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains.}}

==In the anime==

{{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the [[Viridian Gym]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A Machamp appeared in ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]''. It is the rival of [[Ash's Hawlucha]] and the previous champion of the forest where they lived. Machamp was tricked by a ruffian pair of {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Conkeldurr}} into having a rematch with Hawlucha, but when the two troublemakers interfered with their duel, Machamp took them out with a single move and called off the fight. Machamp was later seen watching Hawlucha agree to join {{Ash}}, promising to look after the forest in the Wrestling Pokémon's stead.

Machamp first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' competing in the [[P1 Grand Prix]].

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|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 {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, both were introduced in [[Generation I]], they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will trade her Abra in exchange for a Machop.

** Machamp also can be seen as a counterpart to the {{p|Conkeldurr}} evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} 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 [[Trade|trading]].
