Machamp (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Machamp (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #018/024 of the smP2: Great Detective Pikachu 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 Machamp (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Machamp (Japanese) (Common, smP2: Great Detective Pikachu #018/024) changes hands at roughly $2.32, 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 $2.32, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $1.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.32, Lightly Played $1.68, Moderately Played $1.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Machamp (Japanese) is valued near $38.00 — about 16x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Machamp (Japanese): 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) Machamp (Japanese) sits around $38.00 — roughly 16x 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.
