Machamp AV - Sir Daniel - Jan 26, 2017 Hi guys, I love Machamp and I wanna use it with the item "Assault Vest".  I've got an adamant Machamp in my team with Bullet Punch, Poison Jab, Stone Edge and Dynamich Punch. And eventually No guard ability.  What is the best EVs spread for my Machamp AV? RE: Machamp AV - Rockycombo - Jan 26, 2017 Generally a good starting point for physical AV Pokemon is a spread of 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def. The AV takes care of Special Defense so this spread just makes it as bulky and hard hitting as possible. You can play around with the Speed investment somewhat, but Machamp's low speed means it won't be outpacing any fast threats. Something like 4 EVs in Speed, though, would allow you to speed creep on Blissey (with has the same base Speed). Or, for instance, 84 EVs to outspeed uninvested base 65s like bulky Scizor, Umbreon, and Komala. It all depends on what you're going up against, whether you need more bulk or a little more speed. RE: Machamp AV - croissant - Jan 26, 2017 I'd recommend that instead: Machamp @ Assault Vest Ability: No Guard EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe Adamant Nature - Dynamic Punch - Knock Off - Heavy Slam - Stone Edge Hope I helped RE: Machamp AV - Sir Daniel - Jan 26, 2017 Thank you very much for your advices. I would like to show you another spread that I found on the net, that is 0/252/0/0/196/60, what do you think? RE: Machamp AV - Rockycombo - Jan 26, 2017 I'm guessing that set is trying to outspeed uninvested Celesteela, but most Celesteela run some speed EVs even if it's only to creep. Also, the Special Defense investment is generally redundant with the Assault Vest, and more than that, can hinder it in regard to taking physical hits. RE: Machamp AV - Sir Daniel - Jan 26, 2017 Thanks for your advice, I'm going to breed Machop in order to make the same Machamp that @"Elly" suggested me  RE: Machamp AV - croissant - Jan 26, 2017
