PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Counter is Machamp’s optimal fast move.

• Karate Chop’s lower power but higher energy gain keep it competitive when paired with Dynamic Punch.

• Dynamic Punch is the superior Fighting-type charge move by a sizable margin.

• Close Combat is viable, but if you need the extra DPS, roll for Dynamic Punch.

• Cross Chop and Submission are basically inferior versions of Dynamic Punch.

• Bullet Punch, Stone Edge, and Heavy Slam are almost never ideal on an offensive Machamp.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Bullet Punch and Counter are similar on defense, as Machamp’s counters often resist Counter.

• Dynamic Punch and Heavy Slam end up doing similar damage to most of Machamp’s counters.

• Cross Chop, though weak, has 2 bars and a fast damage window that is hard to dodge.

• Stone Edge can catch Flying-types off-guard, but its 1 bar doesn’t work with Machamp's fragility.

• Close Combat is poor because of its 1 bar, while Submission is both weak and easy to dodge.
