Ken Sugimori's illustration—depicting Machamp in a powerful, four-armed stance with its fists clenched and its small, determined eyes locked forward against a dramatic rocky backdrop—captures the raw, unyielding strength of the Beast Pokémon in a style that stands out among the more conventional artwork of the set's other Holo Rares like\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eCharizard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eMewtwo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eArticuno\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e. As a Stage 2 that requires the full investment of a two-turn evolution line to reach, Machamp occupies a structurally important position within the set's evolution ecosystem, and its permanently fixed supply—combined with over 24 years of natural wear from the massive population of Legendary Collection cards that were opened, played, and traded in the early 2000s—ensures that quality raw copies remain a cornerstone target for both set completionists and players of Unlimited format tournaments who still appreciate the creative defensive-punishment mechanics of one of the franchise's most iconic Fighting-type Pokémon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Number \/ Rarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e015\/110 \/ Holo Rare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Type \/ HP \/ Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFighting \/ 100 \/ Stage 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Text:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePokémon Power: Strikes Back\u003c\/strong\u003e Whenever your opponent's attack damages Machamp (even if Machamp is Knocked Out), this power does 10 damage to the attacking Pokémon. \u003cem\u003e(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.)\u003c\/em\u003e This power can't be used if Machamp is already affected by a Special Condition when your opponent attacks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[1FFF] Seismic Toss (60)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeakness \/ Resistance \/ Retreat Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eP \/ \/ 3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"message assistant llm-output svelte-t22puq\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTOCK IMAGE(S) SHOWN.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards are professionally rated for quality assurance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards come sleeved, cards above $5 in value come toploaded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__item-details__description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor in hand images please reach out via contact form. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Near mint (NM)","offer_id":52821420278047,"sku":"528214202780_74CD","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Played (LP)","offer_id":52821420310815,"sku":"52821420278047_LightPlayed(70216","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Moderately Played (MP)","offer_id":52821420343583,"sku":"52821420278047_ModeratelyPl577A9","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavily Played (HP)","offer_id":52821420376351,"sku":"52821420278047_HeavilyPlaye9CED0","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Damaged (D)","offer_id":52821420409119,"sku":"52821420278047_Damaged(D)_05340","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/8006\/6591\/files\/Machamp15_110HoloLegendaryCollectionPokemonRaw.jpg?v=1787875331","url":"https:\/\/curatedcollectables.ca\/products\/machamp-15-110-holo-legendary-collection-pokemon-raw","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
