Machoke 035/071 – Dark Phantasma (s10a) – Japanese Pokémon Card

Machoke card – Arita’s wrestler in his power belt

This Japanese Machoke card 035/071 (ゴーリキー / Machoke) comes from s10a Dark Phantasma (2022), the set of Hisui’s ghosts, released in the West as part of Lost Origin. It is signed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the illustrator of the Charizard from the Base Set – his wrestler flexes muscles that a special belt must keep in check at all times, because his power would be far too dangerous without it, the Pokédex explains. Its Seismic Toss hoists any opponent into the air.

Its evolution is already in the shop: the Machamp holo, who lands a thousand punches a second. From the same Dark Phantasma set, the Hisuian Sliggoo drags its shell along – and to power those fists, the Fighting Energy with its crystalline design arrives in the same batch.

Also worth a look in the shop: budget-friendly Japanese cards.
