Mankey (Japanese: マンキー Mankey) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Primeape starting at level 28.

Biology

Mankey eating bananas

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

Mankey specializes in physical fighting, and is very aggressive and short-tempered. When angry, Mankey begins shaking and its breathing turns rough. Its rage peaks quickly, preventing its victim from being able to flee. If Mankey loses sight of its colony, its loneliness causes it to become infuriated. Mankey can be found in the mountains. Mankey lives in treetop colonies, and if one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason.

According to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team games, Mankey's preferred food is chestnuts, although Mankey usually lacks the dexterity to peel them. Mankey will get agitated and rage after attempting to peel a chestnut's spiky shell. Additionally, it also appears to be fond of bananas in the anime.

In Training Daze, a Mankey jointly under the ownership of Jessie and Jubei was used at the Team Rocket Academy for a test.

Trivia

  • Mankey can be seen as a parallel to Meowth. Both of them are Generation I Pokémon who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 28. Mankey is exclusive to Pokémon Red, Gold, and HeartGold, while Meowth is exclusive to Blue, Silver, and SoulSilver. Also, in Black 2 and White 2, Yancy will trade the player a Meowth if the player is male and Curtis will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.

Origin

Considering its pig-like nose, long tail, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with baboons.

Name origin

Mankey may be a combination of mad or man and monkey. It could also be a pun on cranky, referring to Mankey's irritable personality.
