Mankey (Japanese: マンキー Mankey) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Primeape starting at level 28, which evolves into Annihilape when leveled up after using Rage Fist 20 times.

Biology

 
Mankey eating bananas

Mankey is a small, simian Pokémon, similar to a New World monkey. It is bipedal and has a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. Its nose is similar to a pig's snout, and it has narrow, red eyes and triangular ears with brown insides. Mankey's three-fingered hands, two-toed feet, and the tip of its curved, prehensile tail are brown.

Mankey specializes in physical fighting and is very aggressive and short-tempered. When angry, it begins shaking and its breathing turns rough. Its rage peaks quickly, preventing its victim from being able to flee. It will rampage until it falls asleep, but its anger remains in its dreams. This causes it to wake up and become furious all over again. However, this constant release of stress grants it a long life. Mankey can be found in the mountains, where it lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason. If it loses sight of its colony or if it is left alone to rage, its loneliness causes it to become infuriated.

According to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team games, Mankey's preferred food is chestnuts. However, Mankey usually lacks the dexterity to peel them. It becomes agitated and rage after attempting to peel a chestnut's spiky shell. Additionally, it also appears to be fond of bananas in the anime. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, it is rare to find a Mankey sleeping without an angry look on its face.[1]

Evolution

Mankey evolves into Primeape, which evolves into Annihilape.

Trivia

Origin

Mankey's categorization as the "Pig Monkey Pokémon" along with its pig-like nose, may be inspired by the Southern pig-tailed macaque. It also shares a similar color scheme and shaggy fur with this primate. Given its long tail, habitat, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with baboons and snub-nosed monkeys.

Name origin

Mankey may be a combination of man and monkey. It may also involve mad and cranky.
