Its story
Lifestyle
It knows every martial art and throws five hundred blows a second. One hand can move a mountain. It evolves from Machoke by trading and is rarely found, though it lives in the mountains.
In the anime
Giovanni loaned one to Jessie, James, and Meowth at the Viridian Gym, and it defeated Ash's Squirtle. Bea's, able to Gigantamax, returned through several of her battles with Ash.
Name origin
The name Machamp blends macho, meaning manly, with champ. Extra arms and blue skin point toward a Hindu god, perhaps Shiva or Vishnu, while muscles and large lips recall Kinnikuman.
