Machamp has been one of the most consistent Pocket Monsters across all the formats of the GO Battle League. It is one of the most effective counters to Steel-type titans in the PvP meta.

This critter is great in the Great and Ultra Leagues. It slacks a bit in the Master League as there are a lot of players running Mewtwo and Togekiss in their teams. However, if you cross paths with Melmetal, Snorlax, or Dialga, you will destroy your opponent, given how well Machamp performs against these typings.
