Wow.... XD; Very nice work there. But honestly, I don't think it's supposed to be taken literally, just taken as incredibly strong/fast. Besides, it's the Pokémon world, anything can happen :B

Its kinda nice of telling us this... but... its only a game.
Everything doesn't have to be related to real life.
Still, quite interesting :)

@ Ver. Blaze- Actually (as far as I know), the Japanese are supposed to be among the top nations when it comes to things mathematical. Of course one should never make assumptions regardless...

When pulling its arms back, it shifts direction which means that a certain amount of g-force is applied to those arms. Considering the magnitude of this directional difference, the amount of time taken to correct it is negligible. Therefore, one can conclude that Machamp's punches have a general acceleration of 250m/s2. To calculate the g-force, we divide by the the gravitational acceleration of Earth, 9.80665m/s2. When Machamp fires or retracts a punch, (s)he feels 25.49G of force.

Now humans can endure this type of force on our muscles due to the soft tissue in our bodies: they absorb some of the force elastically and distribute it over time. Machamp is a completely different story, as its arms aren't soft, they're "rugged", i.e. hard, durable, etc. Humans can endure a constant 15G of pressure on body tissues, and individual instances of <30G force without suffering damage. But our friend Machamp can't. Without the luxury of soft tissue to deform and absorb the force, Machamp's arms should literally explode whenever it launches these rapid-fire punches it is apparently so well known for.
I figured it out :3

1, Like Gymno said, "rugged" simply mean rough and tough, not completely rock-hard.

2, You went by the gravitational acceleration of EARTH. God knows where in the universe the Poke-world is meant to be. It could even be a different universe, which could have a completely different set of rules of physics.

I enjoyed this. I agree that if it was put in the Pokedex, some serious research must be done. And how would they measure the speed of his punches anyway? That would take one serious high-speed camera.

I was thinking that too, but they have called the place "Earth", I believe, in the Deoxys movie. And there is that guy in D/P wo knows a lot of languages from this planet (I think he upgraded the pokedex to read in different languages but I'm not sure).

It might not be the same universe though. It could be a parallel universe where everything is exactly the same...except that the earth's gravitational acceleration is different :D

How strong is Machamp compared to the

similar to King Dedede's?
Will anypony volunteer to make me

For more info, PM me please!

Omy. I came into this thread, thinking that someone would be
insulting Machamp's "power belt" or his tights or his duck-face or whatever,
but I get science shoved down my throat.

Well yeah, this is why people play pokemon. So the unreal can become
real. Like honestly, this is from the same people who say:

Spoiler:
Garchomp can fly at the speed of a jet-plane
Charizard can melt boulders with it's mouth
Pidgeot can bend tall trees with wind
One swing of Nidoking's tail can snap a telephone pole like a toothpick
Goldbat's teeth have small holes for sucking blood
Dugtrio can cause earthquakes
Poliwrath can swim across the Pacific Oceaon w/o resting
Doduo's Two heads can communicate emotions w/ telepathic powers (yet they're not psychic typed)
One of Doduo's heads split into two through evolution.
Haunter's touch causes endless shuddering
Onix eats boulders
Drowzee sniffs people to see their dreams. It loves fun dreams.
Lickitung's six-foot tongue is connected to it's tail.
Rhyhorn's tackles can destroy anything.
Tangela is ticklish
Mr.Mime minutely vibrates it's fingertips to freeze molecules in the air
A long-lived magikarp can leap over a mountain with the amazing move, Splash.
Vaporeon can melt into water.
Flareon's flame sac in it's body can be heated to 3,000° fahrenheit
Crobat can walk.
Togepi stores kindness and happiness within it's shell.
Ampharos' tail can be seen from space.
Regigigas towed continents together.
Tangrowth's arms grow back right away when cut.
Garchomp creates blades of wind that slices trees.
Buneary can shatter boulders with it's ears.
Luxray can see through walls
Staraptor fusses over the shape of it's comb.
Pokemon are born on a torterra's back and spend their life there (wtf)
Dusclops sucks Will-O-The-Wisps into it's empty body.
Dusknoir brings people to the spirit world


You're lucky my pokedex is barely completed.

That's pretty cool. 1,000 punches in less than two seconds, lol.

It's just a fun fact to know. Calm down.
Didnt mean to sound like I was stressing over it! lol. It just amazes me how people do all of this research for one Pokemon when it is all fantasy ultimately. I actually did enjoy reading this. XD Got bad rep'd about it,

Check the math!
Machamp punches 1000 in two senconds!
ppm= punches per------
1000/2= 500 pps
500*60= 30,000 ppm
30,000*60= 1,800,000 pph
1,800,000*24= 43,200,000 ppd

43,200,000 punches in a day!!! That is totally beastly!!!

I love machamp!!! He's so powerful, he has to wear a belt that weakens him so he doesn't kill everything!!!!
