# Machoke #38/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Machoke is a middle-evolution Fighting type from the first generation, a Pokémon fans like well enough but rarely love, and Skyridge uncommons were pulled as filler beside the set's crystal chase cards. Its appeal is scarcity of the era itself, since Skyridge had a tiny print run and the final WOTC-style packs. The modelled guide sits at $18 with 4 copies traded in 30 days; 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.
