Machamp XY13/211 · XY Black Star Promos

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 XY13/211 in XY Black Star Promos, position 13 of 216. Before it is XY12 Honedge, and after it is XY14 Trevenant. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on October 12, 2013. The printed size is 211. This checklist is longer, at 216 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

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 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 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. 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.

XY Black Star Promos set binder is where a full XY Black Star Promos 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.
