Biology

Machamp has four arms. It can throw around 500 punches in one second and move mountains with one arm. It has poor reflexes and dexterity, with its arms reacting faster than Machamp can think, and getting tangled up when doing delicate tasks. As with Machoke, its belt regulates its power, with more destructive consequences when removed.

Forms

Gigantamax Machamp

Fighting
BST 505

Machamp will have a significant amount of glowing muscle popping out from its arms when Gigantamaxed. Its legs have darkened, giving it the appearance of a boxer. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Chi Strike.
