Machamp Lv. X from the Diamond & Pearl: Stormfront set, ultra rare, graded PSA 10. This one’s a powerhouse in the slab world. The artwork shows Machamp flexing those four massive arms, mid-punch with a gritty determination that captures the essence of a fighting-type beast. Ken Sugimori nailed the intensity here, with dynamic shading and that signature Pokémon energy bursting out.
On the card text, it’s a Fighting type with 150 HP. The Ability is No Guard, which means both your attacks and the opponent’s always hit—no dodging allowed. Attacks include Rage, which ramps up damage based on how beat up Machamp is, and Strong-Willed, dishing out 80 damage while potentially surviving a knockout with 10 HP left. Solid for competitive play back in the day, letting you swing hard without fear of misses.
Stormfront dropped in 2008, part of the Diamond & Pearl series that introduced Level-Up cards. This printing stands out because it was one of the early Lv. X cards, evolving from the base Machamp in the same set. It tied into the Pokémon Legends theme, with stormy vibes and a mix of Sinnoh Pokémon. Not the most common pull, and it saw some tournament action for its tanky build. Collectors dig how it represents that era’s shift to more strategic evolutions, blending old-school muscle with new mechanics.
In the slab, this PSA 10 boasts sharp corners and edges that look untouched, like it just came off the press. Centering is spot-on, probably 50/50 or better, giving it that clean, balanced eye appeal without any whitening or print defects. Surfaces are pristine, no scratches or haze under the light. Pop report wise, last I checked, there are about 25 in PSA 10—pretty low for such an iconic Lv. X, meaning not many made it to gem mint status over the years.
I’d keep this one in a display case next to my other fighting-type slabs, just to remind me of those late-night pack openings.
