Machamp [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Machamp is one of the hobby’s great oddities because its 1st Edition version was packaged in the 2-Player Starter Set, with both Shadowless and shadowed variants created across different print runs.
Set Lore
Although it sits in Base Set as card #8/102, Machamp is listed as a promotion in set documentation, which helps explain why this holo became such a memorable rite-of-passage pull for early English Pokémon TCG fans.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, giving Base Set Machamp the same foundational art pedigree that makes many early WotC holos feel like pieces of franchise history.
In-Game
Machamp’s Pokédex legacy is all about overwhelming physical power, with early game entries describing punches that send foes over the horizon and later entries escalating that myth into a flurry of 1,000 punches in just two seconds.
