Machoke is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 40. In the Pokédex this is Machoke (#067), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Machop. In this catalog that name is Machop (#066). The card lists Machamp, Machamp (#068) under evolves to.

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Machoke (#067) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Machoke 34/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 18 other cards of Machoke list a different HP.

The attack Karate Chop lists 60- damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. This attack does 60 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon. Submission is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. This Pokémon does 20 damage to itself. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its formidable body never gets tired. It helps people by doing work such as the moving of heavy goods."

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