Pokémon Unite Machamp: Items, Moves, and Structure
In Pokémon Unite, Machamp is an all-around player, meaning it excels in both attack and defense. Machamp has four enormous fists, but his true power is in close-quarters fighting. Should you have a preference for all-around players, you may also like to consider Lucario, Garchomp, or Charizard from Pokémon Unite.
We describe this powerful, four-armed fighter's moveset, the finest held and combat items, and the ideal build for it in our Pokémon Unite Machamp guide. If Machamp's moveset changes in any way, we'll make sure to update this guide.
Check out our guides for Pokémon Unite Blissey, Pokémon Unite Gardevoir, and Pokémon Unite Mr. Mime to learn more about each character if you're seeking for more information like to this. But enough about that; let's discuss about Machamp from Pokémon Unite now.
What is the moveset of Pokémon Unite Machamp?
You must purchase Machamp's Unite license from the in-game shop for 8,000 Aeos coins or 460 Aeos gems in order to use it. After Machamp has been unlocked, you may test out its features. We list Machamp's movements and their actions in the next section.
Machamp's non-violent assault
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Guts | Passive | Attack damage increases when afflicted by a status condition |
Machamp's skills in the early game
First things first: you ultimately acquire both of these moves, but you have to choose one a few stages ahead of the other. To get things started, we advise you to choose Karate Chop. In order to get experience early in the game, it will be beneficial for you to do some damage.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Karate chop | Melee | Six seconds | Machamp attacks with a sharp chop |
| Bulk up | Buff | Nine seconds | Movement and attack speed increase and Machamp becomes immune to hindrances for a short time. The next basic attack is also boosted |
Machamp's skills in mid-game
You have a decision to make at level five. As Machoke, you have developed the ability to choose just one of the following skills. Given the damage and higher critical hit rate at this stage, we advise pursuing a cross chop.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Close combat | Melee | Six seconds | Machamp unleashes several punches in a targeted direction. The last punch hits the hardest and also makes Machamp immune to hindrances. Upgrading deals extra damage to afflicted opponents |
| Cross chop | Dash | Six seconds | Machamp performs a double crossed-arm chop that causes damage whilst dashing forward. Also briefly increases critical hit rate. Upgrading increases attack with each basic attack |
Machamp's capacity in the late game
You have another choice to choose at level seven. We advise using submission in addition to cross chop. To really finish off your opponents, you may utilize submission to slow them down and improve your movement speed after using cross chop to deliver damage.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Dynamic punch | Dash | Eight seconds | Machamp leaps and punches the ground, causing AoE damage and stunning nearby enemies. Once it lands, the next basic attack is boosted, movement and attack speed are increased, as well as immunity to hindrances. Upgrading increases movement speed and attack even further |
| Submission | Hindrance | 11 seconds | Machamp attacks from above and stuns the opponent, slamming them into the ground. Movement speed is increased and immunity is gained to hindrances for a short time. Upgrading further increases critical hit rate and increases basic attack speed |
The end-game prowess of Machamp
Finally, you unlock your Unite move, barrage blow, at level nine when you develop into Machamp. It's an all-out assault that enables Machamp to enter the game with a combination strike that will bail out troubled teammates.
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Barrage blow | Buff | Movement speed, attack, and defences, both special and physical, are supercharged. When used again, Machamp unleashes a combo attack, dealing AoE damage and displacing opposing Pokémon. The last blow deals a huge amount of damage |
