Machamp

Machamp holds a 0.08% usage rate at rank 178 in singles, making it a fringe pick. The dominant Adamant 32/32/0/0/2/0 spread with a Focus Sash and the ability Guts defines the set: priority from Bullet Punch and Ice Punch cleans up weakened targets. Its 55 base Speed means it almost always moves last, so the sash reframes it as a one-shot revenge pick rather than a sustainable wallbreaker.

Playstyle：The standard Guts set revolves around a burn-immune attack boost, with Drain Punch for sustain and Payback to hit Psychic and Ghost types. Focus Sash lets it survive one hit at full health and strike back with Bullet Punch or Ice Punch. Move distribution is remarkably even: Bullet Punch, Ice Punch, Drain Punch, and Payback all sit between 23% and 25%, showing no clear consensus on its singles role.

Doubles usage sits at 0.05% and rank 212, equally marginal. No Guard overtakes Guts at 81.1%, pairing with Dynamic Punch and Cross Chop for an unhindered nuke. Wide Guard appears at 15.6% and Protect at 5.8%, indicating a secondary support role alongside its offensive output.

Playstyle：No Guard eliminates Dynamic Punch's confusion gamble entirely, both its accuracy and the resulting confusion become irrelevant. The No Guard-Life Orb-Scope Lens trio at 81.1%, 42.6%, and 24.2% builds toward a single overwhelming hit. Adamant and Brave spreads both appear prominently, splitting between players who want Speed investment and those who maximize power. Wide Guard and Rock Slide give it utility against spread moves, letting it shield partners while retaliating.
