Introduction[]

So in Pokémon, Machamp is stated to be able to move mountains with just one arm. This feat is listed in his profile, but it was never actually calculated to my knowledge, so I’ll do just that.

Calculation[]

So for this feat, I’m going to use the volume of a mountain resulting from the smallest possible height for a mountain, all of which is shown here. The fastest way to find it is by clicking on the 15th section listed in the list of contents and scroll down a tiny bit to the portion titled "a small mountain."

Mountain Volume = 758590275.6 meters^3

Density of Rock = 2700 kg/m^3

Mountain Mass = 758590275.6 * 2700 = 2.0481937e+12 kg

Machamp can do this with only one arm, so we can multiply the value by 4 for Machamp’s lifting strength with all 4 arms.

Lifting Strength = 2.0481937e+12 * 4 = 8.192775e+12 kg

Final Result[]

Machamp Moves Mountains = 8.192775e+12 kg (Class T)

This could either upgrade the Pokémon that scale to or above Machamp or completely flop. There is no in-between.
