How to Evolve Every Pokemon

Trade Machoke with Another Player to Get Machamp

Machoke will evolve into Machamp when traded to another player. To receive your own Machamp, you can send your Machoke to another person, and then ask them to give it back to you after it has evolved.

Trading Board

Linking Cord is not Available in Legends Z-A

You cannot evolve a wild Machoke naturally into a Machamp, and there is no Linking Cord in Pokemon Legends Z-A that is used for trade evolutions.

If you want to get a Machamp fast, trading with other players is the surest and fastest way to do so.

Machamp Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Brave

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Brave ↑ Attack, ↓ Speed

Since Machamp is a Slow Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Brave to boost its Attack further, while reducing its Special Attack or Speed stat respectively.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Machamp either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Machamp any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Machamp has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
