Machamp (Japanese: カイリキー Kairiky) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Machoke when traded. It is the final form of Machop.
Machamp has a Gigantamax form.
Biology
Machamp is a large, humanoid Pokémon with four well-muscled arms. It has bluish-gray skin, red eyes, and pale yellow lips. On its head, there are three brown ridges right above its eyes. It has two arms on each side of its body: a pair located in the normal position, and another pair directly above that attaches on the top of the shoulders. It has black markings that resemble briefs and wears a golden power-save belt that resembles a championship belt. Its legs have considerable muscle tone, and its feet have two toes each.
Machamp are said to know every martial arts style in the world. It punches extremely quickly, throwing five hundred punches a second. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. Because of its four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles and pin all of its foe's limbs down at once. Its arms also allow it to attack and defend simultaneously. The four arms react much faster than Machamp can think. However, it has poor dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms becoming tangled. The belt it wears restricts its muscle activity, but it can cause consequences if removed.
Being the result of an evolution via trading, Machamp is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in the mountains. In the past, Low Kick, Vital Throw, and Strength were its signature moves.
As Gigantamax Machamp, it swells to enormous proportions and acquires immeasurable strength. Due to Gigantamaxing, its arms are filled with Gigantamax energy, making its punches as hard as bomb blasts. Its bluish-gray skin becomes darker. The middle ridge located on its head becomes longer compared to the other two. All three ridges are also darker now. The sclera of the brown eyes become bright yellow. The neck extends with black markings. The four fists are now colored dark orange with yellow lines connecting to two orange spots on each arm. The golden belt extends with several more notches. The black markings now extend down the legs and stop above the ankles.
Gigantamax Machamp is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Chi Strike.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Machamp was originally known as "Ju-Doh". This name is a corruption of judo, a fighting style.
- Machamp could be seen as a counterpart to Alakazam. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by trading, level up at a Medium Slow rate, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Machamp excels at the Attack stat, while Alakazam excels at the Special Attack stat. Their evolutionary families are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in Oreburgh City will trade her Abra for a Machop. Additionally, their base friendship is the same at 70, and all Pokémon in both of their respective evolutionary lines are in the Human-Like egg group. Finally, while Machamp has a Gigantamax form, Alakazam has a Mega Evolution.
- Machamp also can be seen as a counterpart to the Conkeldurr evolutionary line. Both of them are Fighting-type Pokémon whose Attack is their highest stat. They both have below average speed. They share the same base stat total. They both have same gender ratio, they both have three-evolutionary stages, and they both reach their respective final-evolutionary stage through trading.
- Besides Alakazam and Conkeldurr, Machamp can also be seen as a counterpart to Gengar. All four Pokémon can be obtained through evolution induced by trade. Gengar and Machamp are also capable of Gigantamaxing starting in Generation VIII and belong to two Gym Leaders in the Galar region, depending on which game is played; Machamp belongs to Bea in Pokémon Sword, while Gengar belongs to Allister in Pokémon Shield.
Origin
Machamp appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler. Seeing as it has more than two arms and blue skin.
Name origin
Machamp may be a combination of macho (Spanish for overly masculine or chauvinist) and champion. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to Mr. Mime, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, Machop's evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male. The name may also incorporate the term Mach, referring to the high speeds at which Machamp can dole out its powerful punches.
Kairiky is a corruption of 怪力 kairiki (superhuman strength). It is worth noting that kairiki is the Japanese name of Strength.
