    Hello. I am trying to make a good pokemon team and I want a machamp but, I'm not sure if I should have it's ability be guts or no guard.
     
    Machamp can use both Abilities very effectively, and it's all a matter of what is needed most on your team.

    You could always use Lead Machamp:
    Machamp @Lum Berry
    No Guard Ability
    Adamant Nature; 240 HP/248 Atk/16 Sp.Def/4 Speed
    ~DynamicPunch
    ~Payback
    ~Bullet Punch
    ~Stone Edge/Ice Punch

    However, on the Guts side, there's Tank RestTalk Machamp:
    Machamp @Leftovers
    Guts Ability
    Adamant Nature; 252 HP/252 Sp.Def/4 Speed
    ~Rest
    ~Sleep Talk
    ~Bulk Up
    ~Cross Chop

    The second one is not as common, as it's a little bit harder to pull off, and requires good scouting of the opponent's team. However, if used correctly, can rip through teams with Machamp's awesome Attack, and deceptively good defenses. Be warned this set is walled by Ghosts, so Bulk Up should be considered optional.
