Pokémon Machamp VMAX Secret Rare Full Art Holo 194/189 Astral Radiance 330 HP
Price: $14.00
Machamp VMAX from Astral Radiance, secret rare rainbow version numbered 194/189, in raw condition straight from a pack pull. This one’s a beefy Fighting-type with 330 HP, evolving from Machamp V. No ability here, but its attacks pack a punch: Revenge Buster does 130 damage, or 230 if this Pokémon has any damage counters on it from your opponent’s last turn. Then there’s G-Max King Blow for a massive 300, though you have to discard all Energy from it afterward. The retreat cost is three, so it’s not the quickest to swap out, but that fits the whole powerhouse vibe.
The artwork on this secret full art holo shows Machamp in a dynamic pose, mid-battle with those four arms flexed, and the rainbow foil gives it a wild shimmer that shifts colors under light—kinda like staring at an oil slick on pavement. Astral Radiance dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Battle Region set. Raw copies often come with that thick card stock typical of the time, but watch for centering quirks; this set had some packs where the borders leaned a bit off, especially on the holos. Print lines can show up faint on the back if you’re picky, but overall, it’s solid for collectors chasing clean examples without the slab.
In raw shape, this one’s got sharp corners that haven’t seen much wear, edges clean and white without chipping or whitening from handling. The surface is smooth, no major scratches or dents marring the foil, and that holo flash pops nicely when you tilt it, pulling in those rainbow hues without any clouding. Centering looks about 60/40 on the front, pretty standard for the print run, with the back even closer to spot-on. If there’s any quirk, it’s a tiny print dot on the border, but nothing that kills the appeal for a binder spot.
Sleeve it up for your deck or let it sit in a toploader—either way, it’s got that classic Machamp grit.
