Battle Moveset
A Good Moveset for Machamp would have to be this:
Attacks:
Focus Punch
Substitute
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Items Attached:
Liechi Berry
Preferred Nature:
Adamant
Strategy Using Machamp
Machamp has high attack power, and a focus puncher would deal a lot of damage from a Machamp. 130 base attack strength + 225 from Focus punch(including STAB) should deal a lot of damage.
So, set up for a focus punch by using Substitute and then using focus punch the next turn. Earthquake and rockslide are both good moves. Rockslide can cover any flying types that may be sent up against it.
Also, power up Machamp's attack strength with EV's into its attack and its nature should be adamant for that too. Trying to increase its speed is also a possibility. Its defenses aren't too bad, but they aren't great either. Depending on the situation, it could take a few normal damaging moves.
If you want to beat Machamp, a psychic type or flying move should do the trick. Otherwise, its got incredible strength on its side to sweep away your opponent's team, maybe baton pass some more attack and speed to it to give it a better boost. This is something different from the quite a bit of sweepers that have been done recently.
But, a moveset that The_Ownage suggested is this: Brick break/Cross chop, Earthquake, Rock slide, Bulk up, is good too, maybe this is a one you would prefer. Overall, Machamp has poor speed and a Salac berry could be replaced over Liechi berry. It could deal a lot of damage if its speed was increased.
EV Corner:
Max out the EVs in Attack & Speed for Machamp with any remaining in Special Defense
