Machamp VMAX from Astral Radiance, card number 194/189, secret rare rainbow full art, in clean raw condition. This one’s a beast of a card, pulling off that muscular Machamp vibe with four arms ready to rumble, all decked out in a shiny rainbow holo that shifts colors under the light like it’s flexing in a spotlight. The artwork pops with dynamic energy, showing Machamp mid-punch against a starry backdrop, and that full art treatment lets the illustration take over the whole card without borders crowding it.
On the text side, it’s a Fighting-type VMAX with 330 HP, evolving from Machamp V. Its ability is Gutsy Spirit—if this Pokémon would get knocked out by attack damage, you flip a coin, and heads means it hangs on with 10 HP left instead of biting the dust. Attacks include Revenge Buster for 130 base, plus 100 more if any of your benched Pokémon have damage counters, making it a comeback king. Then there’s Seismic Toss at 250 damage, but it skips your next turn for attacks, so time it right or you’ll be sitting out.
Astral Radiance dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, blending in some Hisuian forms and radiant Pokémon for that fresh twist. This set’s print runs had some quirks—rainbow secrets like this one often show up with decent centering out of the pack, but watch for those slight factory offsets on the borders that raw collectors nitpick. The card stock feels solid, with that premium thickness VMAX cards get, though edges can pick up whitening if not handled gently right from the rip.
For raw condition on this copy, corners are sharp without dings, edges clean and unwhitened like it just came from a fresh pack, surface free of scratches or print lines that sometimes plague holos. The rainbow foil has that crisp flash, no clouding or hazing to dull the shine, and centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for these pulls without being perfect. Overall, it’s a solid raw piece that holds up to close inspection under good lighting. Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a toploader—either way, it’s got that bulked-up presence.
