Machamp?

[Jimmyray]

I'm looking for someone to recommend a good Machamp set for me. So far I've come up with:

Machamp@Life Orb
Adamant
252 Attack 252 Defense 6 HP
No Guard
Dynamicpunch
Firepunch
Thunderpunch
Bullet Punch/Bulk Up

 

[Sora_8920]

No matter what they say, I still like Resttalk.

Machamp @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Cross Chop / Close Combat
- Earthquake / Stone Edge / Thunderpunch / Ice Punch / Encore. Takes the best adventage/use of the Guts boost, and Rest for a decent recovery move. Encore.. Is an option. If you're going the in-game route. However, I strongly reccomend not using it, and using one of the other attacks if you want Competitive Play. Close combat or Cross Chop for STAB, and Sleep Talk so you can attack in your sleep, obviously. I don't know if you can use Guts by switching him into a Stats Attack, (preferably Hypnosis, obviously, otherwise Sleep Talk has no use) and delete Rest for another move, however, this is just if you really hate Resttalk, and have good predection. And he doesn't take Milotic's Ice Beam so hard, I suppose.. His Defenses aren't the greatest, but he does make good use of this Set. Ok, enough of my ranting, I'm done.

Ev spread looks fine.

Ice Punch >> Fire Punch or Dragons will lol at you.

and Stone Edge >> Bulk Up and Bullet Punch. They do nothing on a life orb set.

I like Scarf or Choice Band aswell on this set aswell. A STAB move with a 100 % Confusion rate is always nice and ridiculously powerful.



if you want the bulk up set its.

Machamp@Leftovers / Chesto berry
252 ATT / 252 HP / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature
Trait : No Guard
- Bulk Up
- Stone Edge
- Cross Chop / Dynamic Punch
- Rest

Used both of these on shoddy.

Second ones mainly for late game sweeps when their machamp counter is gone. General idea is just to bulk up like crazy and rest, wake up as fast as you can and sweep.

Well Jimmyray, you aren't going to get much uise out of no guard with only one move that beenfits from it. This is where you can pull out stone edge and 70 accuracy moves :P My favorite guts abouse set has always been:

Machamp @ Choice Band / Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: Gosh, I can't remember, max Atk though
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Cross Chop
- Stone Edge
- crap I miss HP Bug Ice Punch / Thunderpunch / Fire Punch
- Sleep Talk

with this, you can abosrb whatever status you'd like.

@Itachi2007: Rest doesn't affect Guts btw. That was a glitch on Netbattle that was carried over to Shoddy. So let's abuse that on Shoddy while we can =). Too bad it doesn't work with Wi-Fi ;__;


Anyways, No Guard>>>>Guts.

Bulk Up set is neat.

But guts is cooler than no guard, cool points FTEW (for the epic win).

You have to make use of no guard though ;) Obviously :P

All I'd have to say is, go for guts if you're going to let it hold Toxic Orb. And give it some decent speed EVs, cause here's whats going to happen...

If Machamp is too slow, it may ruin the whole strategy. You all speak of resttalk as the solution, but that eliminates toxic orb's ability, therefore no guts boost, and Machamp gets owned by whatever hits it, really.

What's wrong with RestTalk? Sleep is a status affliction, so Machamp gets the Guts boost from it. Besides, with RestTalk, Machamp doesn't need Toxic Orb, so he can use Lefties, which actually doesn't kill him. :D
