Strategy & play
How Machamp V plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Seismic Toss) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 140 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥110 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Machamp V
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥110 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Machamp V is real?
Machamp V is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
