Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

machamp challenge box

If it didn't have that godawful psychic weakness, you could have made Machamp Vileplume. But no, there really isn't a deck right now incorporating Machamp Prime that you can make remotely competitive.
 
I disagree with the above posters. I think Machamp+ExpShare is surprisingly powerful. The psychic weakness is a problem, but since you SHOULD be running Terrakion with it, you could switch your playstyle to be more like a Quad Terrakion if you hit a deck with several Mewtwo. Or you could just run your own Mewtwos(since you are already running DCE).

Start here:
15
4-1-3 Machamp
2 Smeargle
3 Terrakion
1 Shaymin
1 Mewtwo

33
4 Level Ball
4 Heavy Ball
4 EXPShare
2 Switch
12 Draw Supporters/Random Recievers
4 Junk Arm
3 Catcher


8 Fighting
4 DCE

This will give you ability to hit for 90 or 100+ every turn, and only give up 1 prize per KO. Level Ball and Heavy Ball search out every pokemon in your deck(except for mewtwo) and there are no flips or giving up other cards required.

Or you could also run it like this:

15
4-1-3 Machamp
3 Landorus
2 Terrakion
1 Shaymin
1 Mewtwo
1 Smeargle

33
4 Dual Ball
4 Ultra Ball
4 EXPshare
4 Junk Arm
2 Switch
3 Catcher
12 Draw Supporters/Random Reciever

8 Fighting
4 DCE

Landorus gives you some energy recovery/acceleration, and helps if you run into someone playing Crushing Hammer/Lost Remover. Dual Ball/Ultra Ball is more needed in this build since Landorus isnt searchable with Level or Heavy. Ultra Ball also combos well with Abundant Harvest to get energy in discard for Landorus to suck up. Landorus also does bench damage to you, so Machamp can hit for 150 damage.
 
No. The Nidoking is an energy guzzler and the damage it deals with the energy it costs is not worth it and trying to use it's Poké-Body effectively requires running quite a few Nidoqueen. However in an Unlimted format you can practically make any deck work.

3-2-3 Nidoking (Triumphant)
2-1-2 Nidoqueen (Mysterious Treasures)
3-3 Claydol (Great Encounters)
1 Smeargle (Undaunted)
1 Unown Q (Majestic Dawn)

Now that's alot of Pokemon to be honest, but with access to all the greatest search and draw cards you can make this work.

Nidoqueen reduces the attack cost of each of you other Nido's (Excluding any Nidoqueen) by 1 colorless energy for each Nidoqueen in Play. With 2 Nidoqueen in play Nidokings attack will only cost 2 fighting energy and you'll get an additional +20HP for each Nidoqueen on your field. Claydol digs through your deck getting all the cards you need. Smeargle is early game draw power
