Machamp vs Pikachu: who would win in a fist fight?
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
Nobody has called this one yet.
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.
