Its Ability

Terraforming

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 4 cards of your deck and rearrange them as you like. This power can't be used if Machamp is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Iron Fist

50+

Count the number of Pokémon you have in play with damage counters on them. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each of those Pokémon.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    120 HP, and nothing in Expedition Base Set goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Terraforming. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,461 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Machoke to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,461 tournament lists we have read, 3,253 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
