Well now, if you’re lookin’ to get the best moveset for that big ol’ Machamp in Pokémon GO, let me tell ya, it’s a bit of a task but nothin’ too hard to figure out. You see, Machamp’s a tough one, strong like an ox, and you gotta make sure it’s packin’ the right punches, if you catch my drift. So, let’s break it down real simple for ya, just like I would explain it to my neighbor over a cup of tea.
Now, first thing’s first, we gotta talk about them moves. Machamp, being a fighter, ain’t too fancy with all them weird moves like some of the other Pokémon. It’s a straight shooter, you see. The best moveset for Machamp, in my honest opinion, would be Counter as your fast move, and then either Dynamic Punch or Rock Slide for the charged moves. Some folks might also like to use Steel Bullet (if that’s the right name for it, don’t mind me too much). But that’s the one with steel in it—pretty handy for takin’ down them pesky Pokémon with a bit more bulk.

Counter is a no-brainer for Machamp. You know, it’s a quick move, just like a good ol’ jab to the face, and it does a lot of damage over time. You can throw it out fast and get your opponent worried. Now, you might be wonderin’ why not use something else for that fast move, but trust me, Counter’s gonna serve you best in most cases.
Then we got Dynamic Punch, which, let me tell ya, is a real showstopper when it comes to charged moves. It’s got power, and it don’t take all day to charge it up either. When you need to really pack a punch, Dynamic Punch is your go-to. But, some of y’all might want a little variety, and I get that. That’s where Rock Slide comes in. It’s just a tiny bit slower than Dynamic Punch, but it’s real good for breakin’ shields, especially in them battles where you’re up against another big bruiser like Machamp itself.
Now, some of you might be thinkin’, “What about Cross Chop?” Well, sure, Cross Chop’s a fast move too, and if you’re in a hurry, it can be a decent choice. But, from my experience, it’s a bit too quick for its own good—sure, it’s faster than the other moves, but sometimes you might find yourself wastin’ a TM on it when you really need somethin’ with a bit more oomph behind it.
There’s also them moves you can get from evolvin’, but don’t you worry too much about that. It’s all randomized anyway, so you can’t really predict what you’ll get. I reckon it’s best to just use a TM to get what you want if you’re really picky about your Machamp’s moveset.
Now, I know some of y’all care about them damage numbers and the DPS and all that fancy stuff, but let me tell ya, you ain’t gotta worry too much about all that math. What matters is, does your Machamp hit hard when it’s needed? And yes, these moves will get the job done. You just gotta figure out what works best for you, whether you’re in a raid, a gym, or out there in a big ol’ battle against another trainer.
Remember, coverage is important. You gotta think about what kind of Pokémon you’re up against. Is it a Ghost-type, a Psychic-type, or a big ol’ Dragon? Well, you’ll need the right moves to deal with them, so don’t be afraid to mix it up. That’s why I like having Rock Slide handy—it’s a good way to deal with a variety of Pokémon, even if you ain’t got the perfect move for every single type.
Lastly, if you’re lookin’ for more tips on this kind of thing, you might want to check out some of them online sites that give ratings on movesets, like GamePress. They do a good job of breakin’ things down, though it might be a bit much for someone like me who’s just happy to make sure my Machamp can hold its own in battle!
So there you have it, folks. The best moveset for Machamp is simple, but effective: Counter, Dynamic Punch, and Rock Slide. If you’ve got Steel Bullet, well, that can be a good backup. But in the end, it’s all about what works best for you. Keep at it, and your Machamp will be takin’ down the competition in no time!
