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

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Machamp has the power to hurl anything aside. However, trying to do any work requiring care and dexterity causes its arms to get tangled. This Pokémon tends to leap into action before it thinks.

Pokémon Emerald

It is impossible to defend against punches and chops doled out by its four arms. Its fighting spirit flares up when it faces a tough opponent.

Pokémon FireRed

Its four ruggedly developed arms can launch a flurry of 1,000 punches in just two seconds.

Pokémon LeafGreen

Its superpowerful punches are said to knock the victim flying clear over the horizon.

Name origin

Machamp's name may be a combination of champion and macho, which is Spanish for male. 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.

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.

Machamp's original English name was Ju-Doh.
