Its Ability

Overzealous

If your opponent has any Pokémon-ex in play, each of Machamp's attacks do 30 more damage to the Defending Pokémon.

Its attacks

Brick Smash

40

This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.

Cross Chop

60+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 60 damage plus 30 more damage.

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. Only 2 cards in Hidden Legends carry more.

  2. A strength

    Brick Smash hits for 40 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Hidden Legends hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,519 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,519 tournament lists we have read, 3,286 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.
