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 #038/144 of the Skyridge 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, Skyridge #038/144) changes hands at roughly $45.00, 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 $45.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.26. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $45.00, Lightly Played $32.00, Moderately Played $23.47, Heavily Played $16.79, Damaged $5.26 — 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 $200.00 — about 4.4x 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 $200.00 — roughly 4.4x 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. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $84.29, PSA 8 $38.00 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
