Machoke: Rarity & Collectibility
Machoke in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #53/130 of the Diamond and Pearl set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Machoke?
In 2026, a Near Mint Machoke (Uncommon, Diamond and Pearl #53/130) changes hands at roughly $1.95, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.95, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.28. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.95, Lightly Played $1.35, Moderately Played $1.13, Heavily Played $1.00, Damaged $0.28 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Machoke is valued near $91.00 — about 47x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Machoke: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Machoke sits around $91.00 — roughly 47x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
