Machoke 177/165 (JP)

This is Machoke 177/165, a Japanese card from the Pokemon 151 set. Machoke is the middle stage in the line that runs from Machop up to Machamp, and it is one of the classic first generation Pokemon celebrated throughout this set, which revisits the original 151 in a modern frame.

The card is an Art Rare, a rarity that highlights detailed illustration work and gives the featured Pokemon a full artwork treatment rather than a standard foil finish. These cards have become popular among collectors for their character and presentation. The 177/165 number sits above the base set count of 165, which is typical for Art Rare cards that appear beyond the main numbered set.

For collectors working through Pokemon 151 or building a set of its Art Rare cards, Machoke is a strong nostalgic pick that ties directly to the original Kanto roster.
