100% Machamp C/DP!! But wtf CP?!

I caught and evolved a 100% machop while in Hawaii!! I was shocked I even appraised it being that the CP was super low! No candies, would you still work on maxing out?!

Yes. Waaaaaaaayyy less candies than most of us spend on failed evos. Level it up without worry.

Congrats.

If you went ahead and evolved such a low CP Machop in the first place, you probably desperately needed a Machamp with a good moveset. Now that you have a 100IV best moveset one, absolutely no reason for second thoughts. Find a nest and max her out.

Would at least pump it up to 30. Unless you already have a double fighting Machamp, of course.

Yes but you knew it was going to be some pathetic CP when you evolved it so you knew it was coming

No worries though, I levelled a snorlax (body slam of course) from 643CP to 2796 so I don't see why you can't hang along to this and level it all the way!

If you don't want to power it up, I'll give you my 2202 91% IV Machamp w/ Bullet Punch/Dynamic Punch for your Machamp. On second thought, I only have 29 Machop candy. Nevermind. Keep yours. YES, power it up!

It depends on a lot of factors. Some key ones are how much the Machamp would improve your existing lineup against defenders you see in gym. And how valuable the time, stardust, and candy required to power it up is to you.

If it was me personally, I would keep it, but would hold off on powering it up. I prefer alternatives to Machamp against Blissey and Snorlax, particularly B/SE Tyranitar. And the 100% C/DP Machamp would only offer slight benefits above my existing lineup against Tyranitar, so not worth the cost to me.

Unless Blissey is rare in your local gym meta, go ahead and walk the Machamp a few hundred kilometers.

I used to walk with my 100% IV chansey from 198 CP to 2920 CP Blissey, so I believe you can also do the same. Cheer!

Allow me to be the voice of reason.

To get this to level 30 you will need
- 119,200 stardust
- 118 machap candy

You have a long way to go.

Dust is too valuable to use on attackers IMO. I would not power that up but Machops are very common where I am and I already have a low IV Machamp L30 I evolved from a level 30 machop. I dont even use Machamp anyways unless im taking down a gym has 3+ Blisseys and my Dnites are in gyms. The only use for it is Trex with Bite at least for me.
And then there is the nerf issue. I have some level 34+ mons I regret powering up which include Arcanine 91 FF/FB & 91 B/FT, Eggy x3 C/P, Poliwrath 100 Bbl/S and a Vape WP. Sorry to bring Hatorade to your party lol.

What you have there is one of the best attackers in the game. I have two Machamps with the same moveset (2650cp and 2826cp both 90%+ ivs) and they are used to take out the Blisseys, Snorlaxs and Tyranitars that populated my local gyms. I would definitely spend dust and candies on that one if I were you.
