Machamp 42/83 · Generations

Machamp is Pokédex #068, generation 1 (Kanto). Machamp is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Machoke. In this catalog that name is Machoke (#067).

Machamp sits at 42/83 in Generations, position 43 of 117. Before it is 41 Machoke, and after it is 43 Geodude. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 22, 2016. The printed size is 83. This checklist is longer, at 117 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Fighting Fury is listed as Ability. Each of your Fighting Pokémon's attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Machamp Crush lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done by attacks from the Defending Pokémon is reduced by 40 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its four ruggedly developed arms can launch a flurry of 1,000 punches in just two seconds."

Machamp (#068) has 48 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 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 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and PLANETA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 41 other cards of Machamp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Generations set binder is where a full Generations set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Machamp can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
