Tap to open
Machoke has always been one of those steady, dependable cards from the Skyridge set, the kind collectors quietly appreciate rather than shout about. This reverse holo version of card #38 came out back in 2003, illustrated by Hisao Nakamura, and carved out its own little niche as an Uncommon that still turns heads today. If you're checking Machoke value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $43, which feels about right for a card of its age and rarity.

The collector's take on Machoke
Is Machoke worth grading?
So is grading worth it? The jump from raw to a PSA 10 is real: a gem mint copy is worth 19.6 times what you'd pay for an ungraded one, taking that $43 card all the way up to $850. A Grade 9 lands in between at $100, which tells you PSA 10 is where the real money lives. But here's the honest part: hitting a true gem mint isn't easy, and grading costs money and time regardless of what comes back. If your copy has sharp corners, clean edges and centering that looks right to your eye, it's worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a scuff you're hoping the grader won't notice, save yourself the fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Machoke?
Only 182 copies of this Machoke have ever been graded, which is a fairly tight number for a card this age. Of those, just 28 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That means gem mint copies make up a small slice of an already small pool, and it's exactly why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 is so wide. When populations stay this limited, scarcity does a lot of the heavy lifting on value, and that's reflected clearly in what collectors are willing to pay for the top grade.
Where can you pull Machoke?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep. We've independently tracked 64 recorded pulls of this Machoke across collector-crypt, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $615. It's shown up in a mix of products including the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 1, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokémon Starter Pack, and the Wildcard Basic Pack. That spread tells you it's not locked to one specific product, but pulling it is still a matter of luck rather than a sure thing, and like any pack opening, the odds favor the house more often than the collector. If you're chasing this one specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.
