Machamp can wield a variety of powerful Fighting-type attacks in Pokemon GO

Machamp is an extremely popular Pokemon for trainers to use in Pokemon GO. The bulky Pocket Monster is one of the best when it comes to Fighting-types. It can be utilized when battling against other players and is exceptionally effective against certain types of Raid Bosses.

The only time Machamp is vulnerable is when matched up against Fairy, Flying, and Psychic-type Pokemon in battle. Regardless of the moveset, trainers should generally avoid using this beast against those types of foes. Machamp really excels when facing Bug, Dark, and Rock-type opponents in battle.

Machamp's best Fast-Attack

When it comes to the ultimate quick-move for Machamp to utilize in Pokemon GO, it is essential for a player to make use of the Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB). Therefore the best option is the Fighting-type move Counter, although Karate Chop is not a bad second choice.

Machamp's best Charged-Attack

In order for this moveset to have maximum effectiveness in Pokemon GO, each of Machamp's attacks need to take advantage of STAB. The enhanced damage inflicted by Pokemon that use their assigned type's moves can be the defining factor in winning a battle. This is why the best-charged attack for Machamp to be equipped with is Dynamic Punch.
