Provenance

Where it came from

The Machamp VMAX card, designated as a Secret Rare, was released in the 2022 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Astral Radiance. This set was primarily inspired by the video game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, drawing heavily on the aesthetic of the Hisui region. The card was designed to highlight the immense, muscular physique of Machamp, a fan-favorite Fighting-type Pokémon originally introduced in the first generation.

As a Rainbow Rare version, the card features a distinctive holographic etched finish that displays a spectrum of colors across the surface, a hallmark of high-rarity cards from the Sword & Shield era. The artwork emphasizes the VMAX mechanic, which represents a Dynamax transformation, a feature introduced in the Galar region. It was generally well-received by players and collectors for its striking visual texture and its utility in competitive play as a high-damage Fighting-type attacker.
