How to Use Karate Chop

Early Pressure

Pokemon UNITE - Machamp Bursting Lucario with Karate Chop

Karate Chop is simply a damaging melee swipe. It's a basic close-ranged move and functions more as a finisher. Use Bulk Up and auto-attack your opponent. As soon as Bulk Up ends, finish the combo off with this move to potentially get an early knock down!

Hit Multiple Targets

Pokemon UNITE - Machamp Hitting Multiple Pokemon with Karate Chop

Karate Chop wide range is great for hitting multiple enemies at once. Use it to defeat the Vespiquen and the Combees in the middle of lanes to get fast EXP early on.
