Machamp 16/165 · Expedition Base Set

Expedition Base Set is a set in the E-Card series. It was released on September 15, 2002. The printed size is 165, and the checklist is the same length. Machamp is 16/165, in position 16 of 165 on this checklist. Before it is 15 Kingler, and after it is 17 Magby. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Machamp is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Machamp (#068), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Machoke. In this catalog that name is Machoke (#067).

Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 other cards in the catalog.

Machamp (#068) has 48 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Machamp 8/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 42 other cards of Machamp list a different HP.

Terraforming is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 4 cards of your deck and rearrange them as you like. This power can't be used if Machamp is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Iron Fist lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Count the number of Pokémon you have in play with damage counters on them. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each of those Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

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