Dark Machamp Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Dark Machamp is part of the landmark Team Rocket expansion, the April 24, 2000 English set that introduced Dark Pokémon and gave the TCG its first wave of corrupted, more aggressive evolutions.
Card History
What makes this specific non-holo rare memorable is its attack Fling, which shuffles the opponent’s Active Pokémon and all attached cards back into the deck—a nasty, disruptive effect that perfectly fits Team Rocket’s sabotage theme.
Artist
Dark Machamp was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most influential artists in Pokémon TCG history, whose work stretches back to the game’s earliest cards in Japan in 1996.
In-Game
Dark Machamp’s flavor text echoes Machamp’s game identity as a four-armed powerhouse, emphasizing how hard it is to defend against its barrage of strikes and making this darker Team Rocket version feel especially menacing.
Card History
Collectors also love that Dark Machamp exists in both holo and non-holo rare form in Team Rocket, with this #27 card being the regular rare counterpart to the holo #10 version from the same set.
