Machamp HP: 383 Attack: 358 Defense: 258 Speed: 208 Special: 228
Weaknesses: Psychic (2x) Resistances: Rock (0.5)
Earthquake Body Slam/Rock Slide Hyper Beam Submission
He has an awesome attack stat, being tied with Rhydon for 2nd best in the game. Unfortunately though, Machamp's only STAB attack is Submission, but it's still usable. It also gets EQ which is good for the likes of Arcanine, Electabuzz and Weezing. Submission hits rock types and such, while Hyper Beam is the usual finisher.
Because of the abundance of normal types in the OU metgame, Machamp can work in OU to an extent. Submission will 2HKO Tauros, Snorlax, Chansey, Golem/Rhydon and you'll also outspeed 4 out of 5 of these.
But ultimately Machamp is better played in UU where it isn't easily as countered. Machamp in UU is a threat to many staple UU Pokemon, only being hindered by lack of STAB and low speed.
Other options: Rock Slide will hit Venomoth and Dodrio for more damage.

A lot of people won't use fight types cuz of psychics being really strong but I wish they'd give Machamp a chance.
He's actually really good if you give him submission.

submission is annoying though. It can't even take out Chansey, and then that nasty recoil destroys you. I think instead the game needed a better fighting move or at least hitmonlee not being the only one with it.
