07Why Collectors Want It
- A Level X card from Stormfront (2009) — the LV.X cards were the premium chases of the Platinum era.
- Level X cards are scarce and heavily collected, especially in high grade.
- Its very low Gem-Mint population drives a striking PSA 10 premium.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Level-Up Machamp with 150 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: No Guard
As long as Machamp is your Active Pokémon, each of Machamp's attacks does 60 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance) and any damage done to Machamp by your opponent's Pokémon is increased by 60 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Strong-Willed
During your opponent's next turn, if Machamp would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, flip a coin. If heads, Machamp is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$4,846 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Very low Gem-Mint population — Level X holo foil is notoriously hard to grade clean.
Other graders: PSA dominates; BGS/CGC examples are uncommon.
