In the anime
Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket and the former Gym Leader of Viridian City, has a Machamp. He loaned it to Jessie, James and Meowth after he put them in charge of the gym.
A Machamp was used by the Pirate trainer to battle Ash's Squirtle during the opening of Mewtwo Strikes Back.
A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in The Ring Masters. It loses to Ash's Snorlax in the semifinals.
Morrison battled against a Machamp and Marowak belonging to a very muscular trainer named Gavin during the Hoenn League in From Brags to Riches. Morrison's Gligar managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.
A Machamp belonging to Noland made a cameo appearance in Numero Uno Articuno.
In Sitting Psyduck, Emily used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway Psyduck.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, Green has a Machamp that evolved when it was under Red's ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by trade. It was later seen in Volume 3, fighting Red's Snorlax at Indigo Plateau, blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial Double-Edge.
Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by Chuck against Green's Rhydon in Volume 13.
Green later brings Machamp to the Sevii Islands, in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on Two Island.

Trivia
Machamp's original English name was Ju-Doh.
Origin
Machamp appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Kintaro, a boss character from Mortal Kombat II.
Name origin
Machamp's name may be a combination of champion and macho, which is Spanish for overly masculine or chauvanist. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like Mr. Mime, this is not reflected in the gender distribution. Kairiky is a corruption of 怪力 kairiki, superhuman strength. It is worth noting that kairiki is the Japanese name of Strength.
In other languages
- German: Machomei
- French: Mackogneur - Macho has a similar meaning as in English. Cogneur means slugger. The ch was likely replaced by the ck to keep the sound of cogneur intact.
- Korean: 괴력몬 Gwiryeokmon
