How to use Machamp in the current VGC format

Machamp is listed as a Fighting type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Machamp fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights No Guard, Focus Sash and Brave 32/32/2/0/0/0. Its frequent moves include Dynamic Punch, Stone Edge, Ice Punch, Bullet Punch, and Protect. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Machamp has important weaknesses to fairy 2x, flying 2x, psychic 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as torkoal, oranguru, drampa-mega, bastiodon, and abomasnow appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
