Description
The Machamp SWSH243 Holo Promo stands as a distinct entry in the 2019 SWSH Black Star Promos series, offering collectors a high-impact Fighting-type card. Designed by GOSSAN, this Stage 2 Pokémon evolves from Machoke and boasts 150 HP, making it a formidable presence in the game. The card features the Crisis Muscles ability, which grants an additional 150 HP when an opponent has three or fewer Prize cards remaining, adding strategic depth to battles. Its primary attack, Strong-Arm Lariat, deals 100 damage plus an optional 100 more, though using this extra damage prevents the Pokémon from attacking the following turn. This mechanical trade-off creates interesting tactical decisions for players and collectors alike. The holo finish enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those building specialized collections or seeking competitive gameplay options within the Sword & Shield era. Collectors often appreciate this card for its clear rules text and robust stats, which reflect the design philosophy of the time.
