Are you using a Guts set? If not, why not DynamicPunch instead of Cross Chop? Machamp has access to No Guard. Same damage with additional confusion.

Anyway, I'm planning to build a No Guard Machamp, but I am undecided on the moves. So far, I'm considering Dynamic Punch as a staple, stone edge, bullet punch, and ???
Should I carry Payback, EQ?

The moveset that dominated the gen 4 metagame for me was D-Pawnch Payback Ice Punch Bullet Punch @Lum berry 0 Spe IV 252 ATK, I forget the split between SpD and HP>mfw 6-0'ing scrubs on PO with a suicide lead Machamp is literally my favourite pokemon but I don't really use him in competitive anymore. He just doesn't compete on the level he used to. Actually now that I say this I realize I should give him another shot in gen 6. >mfw second favourite Scrafty is now raped by 4x Fairy

Guts is better in this meta where everyone packs WoW and Twave, also works for a great surprise since everybody expects Machamp to be No Guard I usually run Machamp (F) @ Choice Band Ability: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 172 HP / 84 Spd Adamant Nature - Close Combat - Knock Off - Ice Punch -Sleep Talk/Stone Edge As a lead, Rotom burning you is a free OHKO, predicted Gliscor switch in is a free OHKO, predicted Trevenant is either cleanly KO'd or crippled without his item depending on it's defensive investment.

I normally wouldn't recommend bullet punch on something that isn't an anti-lead set, but since fairies resist both fighting and dark, and are weak to steel, you might find it somewhat useful.
Or consider using substitute. Machamp can use sub to great effect with the confusion, but it guards him from status effects (namely, burns). Could also protect him from otherwise simple revenge kills, like from faster flying types.

Ok scrublords I'm going to give you the hidden tech you're looking for. If you're running No Guard you're running Lum Berry OR using Ass Vest with a cleric (Heal Bell, Aromatherapy etc...) to cleanse Burns and other status effects that would cripple your favorite musclebound legend. If you're using Guts, of course you don't have to worry about status effects as much. Also consider Rest Talk Guts, as you still get the Guts bonus while sleeping, personally I prefer Leftovers, Choice Band, or Life Orb when using Guts. Finally, all this discussion about Payback is rather silly. In prebank OU (what I've used Machamp in with great success) you're only going to really run into two ghosts: Sableye and Gengar. While Payback is nice, Ghosts are the only thing you're really going to be using it against, but there's a better option: Knock Off. 252 Atk Machamp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gengar: 320-378 (122.1 - 144.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO The former, Sableye, won't likely die in one hit to anything Machamp can throw at it, however, the loss of Leftovers will dramatically reduce his ability to stay afloat. Gengar on the other hand has much to lose in the face of Knock Off--if he doesn't have a Substitute up, he's dead. In closing I'd like to also add that Machamp is pretty flexible. I can't say for certain what moves you should use on him without looking at what your team lacks, but he's got a fairly good physical move pool along with the awesome Bullet Punch to keep fairies in check, and also finish off weak opponents who would otherwise outspeed him and U-Turn away. Just watch out for Talonflame and you'll be golden.

>>16711490 No Guard Lum Berry is solid; I ran it on Showdown as a lead for a while. It guarantees right off the bat someone is going to get confused, and hit with a 100 DMG STAB coming off 130 attack--no one wants that, even solid physical walls are crippled by confusion.
252 HP 252 ATK 4 SPEC.D. is what I usually ran on most sets. A few posts up someone mentioned a set with a bit of speed, and something like that works too.
To be honest though I wouldn't invest more than 100~ into speed on Machamp unless you're running Choice Scarf to catch people off guard. That's really the only way to remedy his low speed, but it might not be worth running over sheer damage.
