# Machamp #42/83 — Generations

## Summary

Machamp is a Gen I fan favorite, the four-armed finisher of the Machop line and a staple of nostalgic Fighting collections. A plain Rare in Generations, it was a Stage 2 built around a damage-boosting Ability, an honest mid-tier pull that rewards players more than chase hunters. The modelled guide sits at $1.85, up 5% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 149 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
