Dark Machoke – 1st Edition (40) – Team Rocket (2000)
This vintage Pokémon TCG card comes from the original 2000 Team Rocket expansion, marking one of the first “Dark” variants of classic Pokémon in the Pokémon TCG. The holofoil background brings Mitsuhiro Arita’s bold art to life as Dark Machoke hoists a massive boulder overhead, emphasizing its fierce, muscular form. As a Stage 1 Fighting-type (evolves from Machop), Dark Machoke holds nostalgic appeal with its classic attacks and the iconic Team Rocket “R” symbol. Collectors prize this first-edition card for its smoky, villainous theme and mint-condition set authenticity, making it a standout piece for any vintage Pokémon collection.
