Machamp is a bipedal Pokémon, and is notable for being extremely muscled, and having four arms. Its skin color is bluish-gray, and it has red colored eyes. On its head, there are three ridges right above it eyes, which are also right above its frog-like mouth. It has two arms on each side of its body, a pair located where its arms were in its pre-evolved form, and another pair directly above that attached, and the top of the shoulder. It wears a leg-less black girdle along with the power-save belt that it wore as a Machoke. Its legs are also quite muscled, and its feet only have two toes.
It punches extremely fast, and is known to have mastered every form of martial arts. The maximum amount of punches they can throw in a few seconds is approximately one thousand. Its attacks send foes flying over the horizon. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. It can hit from a multitude of angles, due to its four arms. However, it has bad dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms getting tangled.
Trying to do any work requiring care, and dexterity causes Machamp's arms to get tangled. Machamp tends to leap into action before it thinks.
Machamp live in mountains, in forbidding areas where they can hone their skills.
(Unconfirmed!)
Machamp appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Kintaro, a boss character from Mortal Kombat II. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps Shiva or Vishnu. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tienshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tienshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms. Machamp may be based partially on Kinnikuman, a character from a manga series by the same name. Like Machamp, Kinnikuman is a wrestler, and notably has big lips, akin to Machamp's, as well as a spike on in his head that resembles the ones Machamp has as well. It is also worth noting that in Japan, the Machop evolution family is know as the きんにく "Kinniku" (Muscle) Pokémon.
Machamp's name may be a combination of champion, and macho, which is Spanish for overly masculine or chauvinist. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Unlike Mr. Mime, this is reflected in the gender distribution, as 75% of all Machamp are male.
