Machoke has that great in-between spot in the original lineup, the bridge between scrappy Machop and powerhouse Machamp, and it's card #34 in the 1999 Base Set, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. As an uncommon it was never the flashy pull, but Base Set nostalgia carries a lot of weight, and if you're searching for the Machoke value or wondering what your copy might fetch, this page walks through exactly that.

The collector's take on Machoke
Is Machoke worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Machoke sits around $2, while a PSA 10 comes in at $107, which works out to about 67.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but gem mint on a 1999 card is genuinely hard to land, centering and edges on these older prints can be unforgiving. A Grade 9 lands at $75, which is actually not far off the PSA 10 number, so a near perfect copy still holds solid value even without the gem mint label. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your card comes back a 10, so weigh that risk before you send off a $2 card hoping for a $107 outcome.
How rare is Machoke?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 1,684 graded copies of this Machoke on record, and only 276 of those earned a PSA 10. That tells you two things: plenty of collectors have sent this card in over the years, but true gem mint copies are the minority of that pool, not the norm. For a card from a set this old, that split between total population and top grade population is exactly what keeps the PSA 10 price meaningfully higher than everything below it.
Where can you pull Machoke?
We've tracked Machoke being pulled 60 times across pack sites including courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $230. It's shown up in a mix of products, from the Pokémon Starter Pack and Pokémon Pro Pack to newer mixed offerings like The Amazing Chase Encore, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pack 1. That spread tells you this isn't a card tied to one single product, it surfaces here and there across all kinds of packs, which is the kind of thing you only see by tracking real pulls rather than reading a static price guide. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble no matter what card you're chasing, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost.
Questions people ask
How much is Machoke worth?+
A raw, ungraded Machoke from Base Set is valued around $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $75 and a PSA 10 reaching $107, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Machoke worth grading?+
It depends on what you're hoping for. The PSA 10 price of $107 is about 67.3 times the raw value, which sounds great, but only 276 of the 1,684 graded copies out there have hit that top grade, so gem mint is far from guaranteed. If your copy looks sharp and well centered it can be worth a shot, just go in knowing grading fees eat into any profit if the card comes back lower.
How much is a PSA 10 Machoke worth?+
A PSA 10 Machoke is worth $107. That's the ceiling for this card right now, and with only 276 copies graded that high out of 1,684 total, it's the kind of number that reflects genuine scarcity at the top end.
