# Machoke #85/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Machoke is the middle step of the Machop line, a Gen I Fighting type that fans remember fondly for its sturdy, no-nonsense look. In Expedition, an Uncommon was a filler pull rather than a chase, so demand comes from completionists and Shin-ichi Yoshida's longtime association with early Pokémon artwork. The modelled guide sits at $6.90, up 5% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 2,000 days of inventory sitting on the board; a CGC 10 brings $68, 9.8 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
