Hey there! I wish to share the Machop build I designed for my girlfriends LC Team. (Machop's her fav.) But before I start breeding, any amount of input, suggestions would be perfect. I'll explain the best I can the reasons I chose each aspect of Machop.
I wouldn't say I was NEW to competitive battling- but I am no expert by far! And wanted to try something a little different.
Machop; LV.100
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
Held Item: White Herb
Ability: No Guard
Moves: -Bullet Punch - Steel priority move/Type Coverage
-Knock Off - Knocks off opponents held items
-Focus Punch - Powerful STAB attack,
Low accuracy negated by No Guard, White Herb enables immediate one time use.
-Ice Punch- Type Coverage/Dem Frozen Fish be real good.
Overall this moveset, for an all-out attacker covers 12 types super effectively. The remaining types;Fight, Fire, Water,Poison, Electric and Bug. The moves also cover its weaknesses. Hopefully able to use it's strength to knock down opposing threats such as Archen.
As I wanted to try something a little different this build accommodates Focus Punch, a powerful STAB attack for Machop. With the express purpose of powerhousing through a tough defensive type.
Nature-wise. Either Adamant for boosted Attack or Jolly, to give Machop a bit of speed.
Ability: No Guard enables Focus Punch to be 100% accurate. This, in conjunction with White Herb enables a one time immediate use of Focus Punch for the express purpose of taking down defensive pokemon.
For its EV spread I was thinking max attack/speed with leftovers in HP for a little bulk.
