Machamp, also known as the Superpower Pokémon, is one of the many creatures in the Pokémon media franchise. It is the final evolution form of the Machop line, after Machop evolves into Machoke at level 28 or higher, and then trading the Machoke, or by using the Linking Cord in Legends Arceus.

It also made its debut in the first generation of Pokémon, and is Number 68 in the National Pokédex. Machamp also appeared as one of the playable fighters in Pokken Tournament. It previously fought Goro in the 125th episode of Death Battle, Goro VS Machamp.
