Machoke 51/110 · Legendary Collection

Legendary Collection is a set in the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. Machoke is 51/110, in position 51 of 110 on this checklist. Before it is 50 Kakuna, and after it is 52 Magikarp. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Machoke is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 40. In the Pokédex this is Machoke (#067), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Machop. In this catalog that name is Machop (#066). The card lists Machamp, Machamp (#068) under evolves to.

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Machoke (#067) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Machoke 34/102 in Base (1999). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. 11 other cards of Machoke list a different HP.

The attack Karate Chop lists 50- damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Does 50 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on Machoke. Submission is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Machoke does 20 damage to itself. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its muscular body is so powerful that it must wear a power-save belt to help regulate its motions."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Machoke can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
