Can Machamp learn Fissure, Sheer Cold or Guillotine?

Question

This would be cool with No Guard ability.

Answer 1

Machamp does learn Fissure in Gen 1, but there are no abilities in Gen 1, and when Virtual Console Pokemon are transferred they are given their Hidden Ability. Machamp's HA is Steadfast, so legally, you cannot have a No Guard Fissure Machamp.

Answer 2

No it can't learn those moves, for good reason.

Agreed, only cheating hackers would pull a fast one like this.

Answer 3

No that would be cheap. The main reason he has this ability is for Dynamic punch and Stone edge.

Comments

Yeah, good enough sets for me!

Answer 4

Yes, it can! But only by using a Generation 4 glitch where a transformed Pokemon that uses Rage and then kills their opponent with a non-Rage move keeps their stolen moveset permanently.

It’s possible to teach Machamp Mimic in Generation 3, so through some careful maneuvers it can transform and take advantage of this glitch.

Through all of this, it’s possible to teach it Fissure, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold. I recommend going with Sheer Cold. It’s quite powerful in Generation 4!
