# Rocket's Technical Machine 01 (Japanese) #127 — Pokemon VS

## Summary

Rocket's Technical Machine 01 belongs to the Japanese e-Card era, the line where cards carried scannable dot codes and Japan's e-Reader hardware was part of the hobby. It was released in Japan in August 2001 in the Pokemon VS set, a Trainer-flavoured entry that pairs Team Rocket with the era's battle-focused design. As an uncommon, it sat in the mid-tier of the set, a modest pull whose draw is the Rocket theme rather than any chase status. The modelled guide sits at $22 with no copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $600 and a 31% observed gem rate putting about $110 of expected profit per submission.
