Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
The crowd
Machamp 0%, Pikachu 100% (1 vote).
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Pikachu zips around on Quick Attack while Machamp's four arms tangle themselves trying to hit a target 120 cm shorter. Eventually one arm comes free and lands. Ash Ketchum throws in the towel, and Pikachu is carried out, though not in a Poké Ball. TKO, Machamp.
Fair fight? Allow Pikachu's cheek lightning. Machamp is 124 kg heavier, and his champion-style belt would make a very shiny conductor.
