# Machoke #53/130 — Diamond & Pearl

## Summary

Machoke is a mid-tier Uncommon from the opening Diamond & Pearl set, the stage between a cheap Machop and the Machamp most players actually wanted. Kouki Saitou is a respected name among Pokémon TCG illustrators, but demand here is mostly Gen I Fighting-type nostalgia and set completion. A $0.60 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
