# Dark Machamp #27/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Machamp is a Team Rocket Rare, a mid-tier pull in a set where the holofoil Dark Pokémon took the chase slots, and Arita is one of the most beloved Gen I illustrators. Machamp's fan base is steady, and Fling's shuffle-away effect made it a curious Stage 2 in its day. The modelled guide sits at $11, up 6% over 30 days on 61 copies traded, with 702 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, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
