Strategy & play
How Machamp LV.X plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Strong-Willed) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥75 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Machamp LV.X
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥75 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

About this card
Poké-Body: No Guard
As long as Machamp is your Active Pokémon, each of Machamp's attacks does 60 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance) and any damage done to Machamp by your opponent's Pokémon is increased by 60 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
FCCStrong-Willed — 20
During your opponent's next turn, if Machamp would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, flip a coin. If heads, Machamp is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead.
Put this card onto your Active Machamp. Machamp LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.
Weakness:P+40
Retreat cost:CCC

How can I tell if my Machamp LV.X is real?
