Machamp is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level 59. 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).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 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 lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare.

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