Pokémon Power: Strikes Back
Whenever your opponent's attack damages Machamp (even if Machamp is Knocked Out), this power does 10 damage to the attacking Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power can't be used if Machamp is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed when your opponent attacks.
Using its amazing muscles, it throws powerful punches that can knock its victim clear over the horizon.

Notable variant / error
Starter-set exclusive (2-Player Starter Set). ALWAYS carries the 1st Edition stamp; exists shadowless (first print) and shadowed (later). No no-stamp Unlimited Machamp. A no-stamp non-holo Machamp exists only in the prototype Trainer Deck A.
About the print variants
Base Set cards come in four printings: 1st Edition (Edition-1 stamp), Shadowless (no stamp, no drop shadow, the extra '99' in the copyright), Unlimited (drop shadow, most common), and the 1999-2000 (4th print) (like Unlimited but the copyright reads (c)1999-2000). Machamp is the exception -- it is always 1st-Edition-stamped.
