Machoke 177/165

Machoke 177/165 comes from the 151 set, the special expansion built around the original Kanto Pokedex of 151 Pokemon. The card number sits above the printed set size of 165, which places this Machoke in the subset that runs past the main list. It carries the Illustration Rare classification, a style that frames the Pokemon in a full art scene drawn from its natural surroundings rather than a standard card portrait.

The 151 set was popular for revisiting the first generation of Pokemon with modern card design, and its Illustration Rares were among the most wanted pulls for their detailed, character driven artwork. Machoke is the middle stage of the Machop line and a familiar face from the Kanto roster. Collectors look for this card to complete a 151 Illustration Rare run or to focus on the Kanto Pokemon they grew up with. The expanded artwork is the main draw, showing Machoke in a setting that gives the card real personality.
