Answer 1

Here is an No Guard Machamp set:

Machamp @ Choice Band
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature

• Dynamic Punch
• Stone Edge
• Bullet Punch
• Knock Off

Dynamic Punch is powerful STAB that can't miss with No Guard. Stone Edge is reliable coverage that is improved with No Guard. Bullet Punch is for priority and covers Fairy types. Knock Off cripples Leftovers-reliant walls and covers Psychic types.

Answer 2

Imagine if a Machamp with Fissure from Gen I could have No Guard, that would be BUSTED

Gen 8
Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 126 Def / 126 SpD
Adamant Nature

• Dynamic Punch
• Stone Edge
• Earthquake/ High Horsepower
• Bullet Punch

Dynamic Punch is a powerful STAB move with an infuriating additional effect. Remember: its bad accuracy is not a problem with No Guard. In a similar fashion, Stone Edge is also affected by No Guard, making it the perfect coverage against Flying and Bug types. The Ground move is for Poison types, the better move depends on the battle format. In a pinch, Bullet Punch is the solution: since it's not outspeeding anything anyways, a priority move can be useful, and it's also strong against Fairy.

Answer 3

The best Fighter Pokemon to be ever created is here to stay. Respect the Champ, ladies and gentlemans. Here we go.

Role: Counter-Tank

Machamp (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 116 HP / 140 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Darkest Lariat
- Stone Edge
- Dynamic Punch

• Earthquake (Nice Coverage and a great move)
• Darkest Lariat (Cover weakness and is a great move)
• Stone Edge (Coverage, and a great move)
• Dynamic Punch (Powerful STAB)

This guy is a nasty surprise. It's bulky enough to endure any hit; It can't be OHKO, unless the oponent has already set up a Special Sweeper. E-quake is a great combo, and Darkest Lariat deal with walls, Psychic's and pesky ghosts. Dynamic Punch is a great move with No Guard, so was Stone-Edge. In general, this thing can kill any natural counter that cross his way, and is super-effective against Psychic, Ghost, Normal, Dark, Ice, Steel, Rock, Electric, Poison, Fire, Bug and Flying. Freakin 12 types. Just go, lmao. People will think twice in burning it because of Guts; they don't expect you to survive/play on deffensive. Just go.

Answer 4

i thought I posted an answer but no so here is one

Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: Guts / Steadfast
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Darkest Lariat

• Stone Edge: Coverage may miss aint good
• Close Combat: A must for all fighting types and its STAB
• Earthquake: Coverage

Answer 5

Gen V UU

Machamp @ Choice Band
EVs : 252 HP / 4 Speed / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature ( +Attack -Special Attack )
Ability: No Guard
- Cross Chop
- Stone Edge
- Bullet Punch
- Dynamic Punch

No Guard is broken when you have access to two of the best Fighting-type moves in the game that often miss, but thanks to No Guard it doesn't. Combined with a great attack stat and access to Stone Edge to hit Flying-types and Bullet Punch for priority, it is overall a solid Pokemon, one of the best Fighting-types in UnderUsed.

sorry I forgot to add it

Answer 6

Machamp @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge / Thunder Punch / Ice Punch
- Bullet Punch/Poison Jab
- Knock Off / Throat Chop

Machamp is a Pokémon that is very close to my heart, so I hope this set does him justice. This set is meant to allow Machamp to tank as many hits as possible while hitting like a truck. I included a counter move for each of his weaknesses, along with a perfectly accurate STAB Dynamic Punch thanks to No Guard. The coverage move you pick depends on what you need from Machamp. (Bullet Punch is much weaker than Poison Jab, but had priority, which is precious to Machamp to counter his low speed) I hope this set helps someone!
