Its Ability

No Guard

As long as Machamp is your Active Pokémon, each of Machamp's attacks does 60 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance) and any damage done to Machamp by your opponent's Pokémon is increased by 60 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Strong-Willed

20

During your opponent's next turn, if Machamp would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, flip a coin. If heads, Machamp is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead.

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

    150 HP, and nothing in Stormfront goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,417 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

    Weakness Psychic +40. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,417 tournament lists we have read, 3,225 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.
