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 already affected by a Special Condition 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
Released in 2002, the Legendary Collection served as a nostalgic retrospective for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, gathering popular cards from the original Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket expansions. As one of the marquee inclusions, the Machamp card featured the iconic 'reverse holo' treatment—a distinctive, high-gloss pattern where the entire card face shimmered, save for the character illustration itself. This set was designed to reintroduce early generation favorites to a new wave of players while celebrating the aesthetics of the game's initial debut.
The Machamp illustration retains the powerful, four-armed aesthetic established by Ken Sugimori, whose original designs defined the visual language of the franchise. By placing this card within the Legendary Collection, the publishers intended to honor the permanence of core Pokémon like Machamp in competitive play. Upon release, the set was well-received by collectors who appreciated the return of familiar artwork presented with modern, elevated foil technology, effectively bridging the gap between the game's early history and its continued evolution in the early 2000s.
