Right right....I keep forgetting I can edit posts myself (though I've already done it like 5 times).

MACHAMP:
Machamp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: No Guard
Nature: Jolly
Evs: 252 ATK / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
My personal favorite Variant.
It doesn't hit NEARLY as hard as a Guts Abuser, but it's fast enough to surprise many PKMN.
Thanks to No Guard, Dynamic Punch is an Excellent option. Not only is it a really Powerful attack (BP 100 + STAB), but having a 100% chance to confuse the opponent is just freakin amazing.
The other moves are there for type coverage.
Now, you may be thinking why Fire Punch over Ice / Thunderpunch.
Simply because Stone Edge takes care of the things the other punches were meant to handle (Salamence / Gyarados).
Garchomp takes a swift Dynamic Punch to the face....severly reducing it's effectiveness.
Besides that, Fire Punch is excellent for taking down Skarmory / Foretress as well as potentially OHKOing Heracross.
Machamp @ Choice Band
Ability: No Guard
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 ATK / 252 HP / 4 Speed
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
Same moveset as the first, but with Speed Evs transferred to HP EVs.
Strategy: Hit HARD and get out of there...just like any other Choice Set.
Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: No Guard
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 HP / 96 ATK / 160 DEF
- Dynamic Punch
- Stone Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Hooray for the STalker (Sleep Talker).
The Evs here give it Maximum Leftovers Recovery and take advantage of the "bonus" point in ATK (due to Nature).
The rest is used to jack up DEF.
Basically, this is a Physical Wall that poses an offenseive threat as well.
Machamp @ Leftovers
Ability: Guts
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 HP / 96 ATK / 160 DEF
- Close Combat / Cross Chop
- Stone Edge
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Much like the previous set, but with GUTS over NO GUARD.
This set abuses the Status from Sleep while Sleep Talking.
Close Combat replaces Dynamic Punch due to accuracy and Power....
...Be aware however that Close Combat will take away from your "walling" abilities, so Cross Chop is an excellent replacement.

Well, my Computer is now repaired, but classes kick back in tomorrow. Due to that, there is a very good chance I won't be on until things reach equillibrium in my life once again.
