Neo Destiny

Light Machamp 25/105 · Neo Destiny

Light Machamp, Neo Destiny #25

Neo Destiny is a set in the Neo series. It was released on February 28, 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. Light Machamp is 25/105, in position 25 of 113 on this checklist. Before it is 24 Light Ledian, and after it is 26 Light Piloswine. The listed rarity is Rare.

Light Machamp is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 65. In the Pokédex this is Machamp (#068), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Light Machoke. In this catalog that name is Machoke (#067).

Miki Tanaka illustrated this card. The same name is on 192 other cards in the catalog.

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 is named Machamp, while this one is Light Machamp. Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 44 other cards of Machamp list a different HP.

Tag Team is listed as Pokémon Power. When you play Light Machamp from your hand, if it is on your Bench, remove 3 damage counters from your Active Pokémon. If it has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Then, switch Light Machamp with your Active Pokémon. The attack Beatdown lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. If the Defending Pokémon has Dark in its name or is a Darkness Pokémon, flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 100 damage instead of 50. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It uses its four arms in combat to unleash a ceaseless flurry of punches."

I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny 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.
