MOTIVATE (Machamp) @ Choice Band
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
- Facade
- Knock Off
Pretty self-explanatory, hit hard as possible with careful prediction. Extra power means you don't have to run stuff like Heavy Slam for Florges.

Scary Face Machamp
Machamp @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dynamic Punch
- Knock Off
- Facade
- Scary Face
One of the biggest problems with Machamp is its low Spe even when invested.
Scary Face is a good move to allow Machamp to outspeed traditional revenge killers. Still, if you are forced to switch-out anyway, your teammate will face a slow threat.
Scary Face is chosen over Bullet Punch because now Machamp can outspeed many things when they are at -2 Spe (keep in mind that fully invested Adamant Machop has 209 Spe points), so the priority is less needed.
