Definitly playable, but Weakness x2 to Psychic is horrible with Uxie in Format....
Probably 6/10

Yay FIRST!!!!

 

[Redados1]

Second!!!

looks fun and familiar its first attack is 40, 60 with sacrifice (kingdra la anyone?)
The second attack is pretty much the same as Donphans except more flexible
2x weakness to psychic is REALLY bad.
It would make a fun deck except for there are two better machamps so unfortunately this is a 6/10

 

[TheKing]

THere are much better Machamps than this one

4/10

 

[platapierule]

I feel like if this card wasn't named Machamp people would like it better. I think of it as the poor man's kingdra/donphan. 1 for 60 people...

2nd attack is bad.

1st attack is decent - but I'd much rather do 20 less damage, save doing 20 damage to myself, and be able OHKO basics.

Machamp SF and Machamp Prime are better options.

Not terrible though - 6/10

 

[Dragonflames1994]

First attack is pretty good, Second attack is a basically a Heavy Impact, except that is doesn't require :fighting: energy. RC is a bit heavy, HP is about average. 6/10

 

[Regis_Neo]

Today's CotD is Machamp from TM...huh, I didn't even know there was a non-Prime, non-Holo one in the set. Statwise 130 HP is average for a Stage 2, x2 Weakness to sychic: hurts, no Resistance is common, and :colorless::colorless: to Retreat is eh. Vital Throw deals a nice 40 for :fighting:, or if you can OHKO something within 20 damage, you can opt for 20 more damage at the cost of 20 to Machamp; you can tell this will be SF's replacement once it's rotated out due to the pseudo-donk effect (as many Basics still don't rise over 60 HP usually). Hundred Furious Punches deals an ok 60 for :colorless::colorless::colorless:, but increases by 10 for each :fighting: Energy on Machamp, so it could work out.

Modified - 6/10 (Inferior to SF Machamp and its Take Out attack right now, but this guy will likely be his eventual replacement along with the Prime)
Limited - 7/10 (Hard to get out being a Stage 2, but well worth using if you have the full line and a primarily :fighting: deck)
Unlimited - 1/10 (HP is good, but Vital Throw can weaken him, and you're not likely getting off Hundred Furious Punches that often)

I would run this card with machamp prime in it. This card can do a real quick sixty and its good with machamp primes poke power.
