Machoke #49 value & price

Tap to open
Machoke has always been one of those bridge cards, the guy standing between a scrawny Machop and the powerhouse Machamp, and Base Set 2 gave him a solid Ken Sugimori illustration that a lot of collectors from 2000 still remember fondly. As an Uncommon from that set, he was never chased the way holos were, but that doesn't mean people aren't curious what he's worth now. If you're searching Machoke value or trying to figure out how much is Machoke worth today, the short answer is: not much raw, but graded copies tell a different story.

The collector's take on Machoke
Is Machoke worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Machoke sits around $2, a Grade 9 jumps to $19, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy climbs all the way to $81, which works out to 48.2x the raw price. That multiplier looks exciting on paper, but remember grading isn't free, and an Uncommon card from Base Set 2 has to survive decades of handling with sharp corners and clean edges to actually hit that gem mint mark. If you've got a copy that already looks pack fresh, it might be worth the gamble, but for a lower value card like this, a lot of collectors find it's simpler to just enjoy it raw unless you genuinely think you've got a perfect one.
How rare is Machoke?
Machoke doesn't carry the mystique of a holo rare, since Uncommons from Base Set 2 were printed in much higher numbers to fill out the middle of the set. That print run is exactly why the raw price stays modest, there just isn't the scarcity pressure that drives up value for rarer slots in the set. Where things tighten up is in top condition, since a card this old getting through decades without a whitened edge or soft corner is genuinely uncommon, even if the card itself technically isn't.
Where can you pull Machoke?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Machoke pulled 61 times across sites like courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, so it's far from a mythical pull. The biggest recorded pull value on Machoke came in at $230, which tells you that even a modest Uncommon can occasionally land in a pack with some real upside if the condition and market line up right. We've seen it turn up in packs like Wildcard Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pack 1, so if you're chasing this specific card through pack openings rather than buying it outright, those are worth keeping an eye on. Just know going in that opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card directly.
Questions people ask
How much is Machoke worth?+
A raw, ungraded Machoke from Base Set 2 is worth around $2 right now. Value climbs with condition and grading, but on its own in a binder it's a low cost card to pick up or trade.
Is Machoke worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A Grade 9 sits at $19 and a PSA 10 reaches $81, which is 48.2x the raw price, but grading costs money and there's no guarantee your card comes back gem mint, so it's worth weighing the condition honestly before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Machoke worth?+
A PSA 10 gem mint Machoke is valued at $81, a solid jump from the $2 raw price and the $19 Grade 9 figure. It shows how much condition alone can shift the value of an otherwise affordable Uncommon.
