It evolves from Machoke by trade. It is the final form of Machop.

Biology

Physiology

Machamp is a bipedal Pokémon and is notable for being extremely muscled and having four arms. Its skin color is bluish-gray and it has red colored eyes. On its head, there are three ridges right above it eyes, which are also right above its frog-like mouth. It has two arms on each side of its body, a pair located where its arms were in its pre-evolved form, and another pair directly above that attached and the top of the shoulder. It wears a leg-less black girdle along with the power-save belt that it wore as a Machoke. Its legs are also quite muscled and its feet only have two toes.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It punches extremely fast, throwing thousands of punches within a couple seconds. Its attacks send foes flying over mountains. Because it has four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles.

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 Raymond 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.

In Sitting Psyduck, Emily used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway Psyduck.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in Bibarel Gnaws Best!.

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.
