What it does
Whenever your opponent's attack damages Machamp (even if Machamp is Knocked Out), this power does 10 damage to the attacking Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power can't be used if Machamp is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed when your opponent attacks.
Using its amazing muscles, it throws powerful punches that can knock its victim clear over the horizon.

Where it came from
The Machamp card from the Base Set was released in 1999 as part of the initial wave of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in North America. Unlike other holographic cards in the set, this card was uniquely included in the two-player starter set as a fixed promotional insert, making it arguably the most ubiquitous holographic card from the original print run.
The artwork was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. His aesthetic focused on dynamic, clean lines intended to clearly communicate the creature's Fighting-type nature. While the card is iconic for its presence in early starter kits, its widespread availability in these decks eventually led to it being considered less rare among serious collectors than other holographic cards from the same base series.
