Strategy & play
How Machamp plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Submission) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 150 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥80 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Machamp
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥80 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Machamp is real?
Machamp is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
