This recently came up in another thread, but #19/#20 originally confused Yamcha's energy signature with Goku's. And given that Gero had analyzed Goku's fight during the Saiyan saga(wherein he used KKx4), it means Yamcha's PL could have been as high as 32,000: https://i.imgur.com/HtOCIfC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FoGyJd2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yx5CXV2.jpg
*The fact that Yamcha was also stated to be "a good source of power" for the Androids also supports his PL being in that realm.
Flip side, Nail's PL was 42,000... So unless Yamcha was capable of boosting his PL by at least an additional 10k, he doesn't have a chance here.

2 things, gero also planned for gradual growth on goku's part jus not spikes. So yamcha scanned at >32,000. And humans/earthlings fighting style means that their power level makes significant jumps when fighting and using their special moves. Geri scanned yamcha's resting powerlevel.
That depends if the special move power boost is based on a percent of their total power level, no? When powered up in thecsaiyan saga, earth fighters sometimes doubled their power level
I mean, Yamcha also knew the Androids were somewhere in the city, which is why he was actively trying to find them.
And given that he was aware of how powerful they were thanks to Trunks' warning, it wouldn't make sense for him to have been massively suppressing his ki, imo... But then again, dumber things have happened, I suppose. /shrug

Trunks did tell them not to show up unless they could at least help against a frieza level opponent and he still showed up. If he was only 32,000, he would have stayed home with chaotzu
None of the Android saga humans were even remotely close to Freeza's PL... But at least Krillin and Tien actually have specialized attacks that could injure/kill a Freeza-level opponent if they connected.
Yamcha's only special ability is being cucked by Vegeta.

That's a sad thought, that Yamcha can't do what everyone else he has trained with can. Cause, Yamcha was trained by everyone Krillin was, and King Kai.

I would like to think Yamcha can suppress his ki down to the indistinguishable lower digits, but I just don't recall him ever doing so.
The other heroes didn't start doing that until the Namek saga, but that was more out of necessity to prevent them from being detected by scouters. Yamcha never really had the need to suppress his power prior to the Saiyan saga, and he wasn't resurrected until after the Namek saga.
Maybe he learned to do it while training with King Kai, or maybe he picked it up between the Namek and Android sagas. Dunno for sure.
